Adaptation not ready?

After seven weeks holiday, and despite assurances that adaptations would be ready, I have been told that they have still to be completed.

Including setting up Computers for Graphic Communications at both the High School and Technical Studies department on the Thomas Muir site.

Extra in service day...

The councils reason for the extra day's holiday appears in this week's (22nd August) edition of the Bishopbriggs Herald.

It includes this statement...

"The delay in re-opening was because a number of adaptations were carried out inside the schools during the holiday period"


I have written to the head teacher asking if this is the case.... I spoke to him yesterday and he has assured me that everything is complete on both sites.

"no pupil who returned to school June would have suffered with regard to falling behind or not starting any courses."


He also wished that parents would contact him directly with any concerns they may have.

Please tell me if you know of any other issues parents should be aware of.

That explains the massive queues outside of Mr Carr's office of S5/S6 students with two, maybe more, subjects missing from their timetable with no notice of why this had happened. Not many students were immediately given a solution to their problem. Not to mention exactly the same situation had arisen in the month between the exam period and summer break.

In other words, that quote is baloney.
