Welcome to the Riverbank Primary School website. Please take the time to explore our different areas. We will use the home page to keep you posted on the most recent additions and updates.
A big thank you to all the parents and carers who attended information session on online safety on the evening of the 29th of November. The presentation shared can be found here. If you have any questions on this, please get in touch with one of the senior management team.
The Celtic Foundation have started the Paradise Pit Stop - Pop In And Refuel initiative. The project launched on Monday, January 30 and will see the doors at Celtic Park opened every Monday and Thursday night between 5pm-7pm providing a free warm meal and a selection of hot and soft drinks to enjoy in the comfort of our lounge. To keep children entertained there will be games available, and also a quiet space if they want to do any of their homework. More information can be found here.
Thank you to PC Chris Donnelly who visited with parents at our Social Media and Online Safety chat on 4th October. Thank you also to all the parents who attended. For those of you who were unable to attend, you can access the presentation here. You will find other information in our Internet Safety Information in the Parent Zone. As always, if you have any concerns over these or any other issues, please get in touch. We will arrange a similar information evening late in the year.
Our Parent Council had its first meeting of the new session on September 13th. You can find a list of the next meetings here. Please consider coming along to the meetings to find out about the great work they do. Now that we are able to have everyone back in school we are looking forward to having more events this session. The more help we have the better!
We have added a list of events planned for this session. You can access it here. This will be updated throughout the year.
Pre-ordering your child's lunches online is now live through ParentPay. You can order lunches up to four weeks in advance. You can look through the choices with your child and order with them so they know what they will be eating. A guide on how to order can be found here. The lunch menus can be viewed in our Parent Zone.
Lunches for P1-5 and all Free School Meal Entitlement children will still be free but all other P6-7 meals will now have to be prepaid. Information on this is available here.
If you have any issues with ParentPay, please contact the school office.
If you receive Universal Credit, Income Support or Child Tax Credit then you could be eligible for a Scottish Child Payment of £25 per week for children under 16 years old. Visit https://www.mygov.scot/scottish-child-payment/ to apply.
Some of our teaching staff have made up additional resources that can be used at home. They are in the Home Learning section of the website and can be accessed here. There is also a list of age-appropriate websites to help you. We have also created a section on Internet Safety. The first item we have added is about children using social media and can be accessed here.
Mrs Clark has created a leaflet that explains some of the language and terms used in school for numeracy and literacy. It can be accessed here.
Please remember that you can contact us through Twitter and the school email as well as the school phone. We are here to help you.
From all at Riverbank.
