Message to our P7s / future S1 Pupils!
Dear Parents/ Carers and most importantly our future S1 pupils! We are currently living through a strange and very challenging time as the country tries to overcome the COVID-19 pandemic. Firstly, I hope you and all your families and friends are well and keeping safe throughout this time. I think it is very important that you all feel reassured in knowing that although we are not in school at the moment, you are very much in our thoughts. Ordinarily, by this point in the term you would have already been in St John Ogilvie HS for the first of our curricular learning events and be looking forward to forthcoming transition events. Unfortunately, as you know, all off these exciting workshops had to be cancelled. As year head for S1, I have already been in contact with all the Head Teachers and P7 teachers within our learning community. In the last couple of weeks in particular I have been collating huge amounts of information which will help me and all of the staff at STJOHS plan for your arrival as S1 pupils. We will continue to work with primary staff to ensure we know everything we need to know about you all in order to ensure that the transition to secondary school is smooth and enjoyable. As a result of the school closures, there have been a number of working groups established to deal with potential issues which may need to be addressed. The P7-S1 transition will of course be uppermost in our thoughts as this will affect not only the 17 Secondary Schools in our own local authority but every school in the country! As soon as we have any further information from South Lanarkshire Council regarding the transition process we will let you know. Please however, be confident that the Learning Community of St John Ogilvie will be doing everything we possibly can to ensure this incredibly exciting part of your young life will be as positive as possible. Please continue to keep up to date with any news via our school website / Twitter feed. Stay safe Mr T McConville Depute Head Teacher

Subject Queries Contacts
As of Thursday, St John Ogilvie will no longer be open to any staff as South Lanarkshire Council move towards the hub programme to support pupils in need of supervision. As such, it will not be possible to contact the school via telephone. While we hope that most have access to all online work, in order to continue to support you with any queries you may have about your child's learning, we have created a teacher email contact list for every subject where an appointed member of staff will try and support you. This list can be accessed on the link below. All Depute Head Teachers and Pupil Support staff can also support you with any queries via the email addresses located on the school website.

We would encourage pupils to make use of the google classroom app available on all mobile devices. Pupils should download the app and login using their school glow email account (replace glowuserid with personal email account in example below) which should look like the one below:

Pupils who need passwords reset should speak to a teacher as soon as possible who can reset this for them.
