School Diversity Week
This week we’re joining schools across the country taking part in School Diversity Week. We’re championing the value of LGBT+ equality, tackling homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying because we want our school to be a place where everyone can be themselves and be their best.

Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA)
An EMA is an allowance of £30 per week (not paid during school holidays), which can be paid to eligible students who stay on in education after the age of 16 years.
Pupils who previously received an EMA award are required to re-apply and complete a fresh application form for session 2017/18.

Free School Meal Entitlement
A Free School Meal is a school lunch provided free of charge by Aberdeenshire Council to children from families on a low income.
If a child attends a secondary, he/she will be given a daily credit allowance to be used in the school dining hall at lunchtime. The credit allowance is the equivalent value of a two course meal. This automatically goes onto a pupil’s account at the start of each day. Any sum remaining after the lunch period is removed.

Young Scot Cards – update
Many pupils are still required to have their Young Scot Card updated to the new version. The new card has been in circulation since 2014, but many Young Scot Cardholders aged 15+ are without the new card. The old card is easily identified as it does not have a “pink strip” across the date of birth. If there is no pink strip the young person needs to upgrade their card by visiting young.scot/upgrade. The information is also on the Aberdeenshire website. http://www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/roads-and-travel/public-transport/concessionary-travel/young-persons-national-entitlement-card/.
Please encourage pupils to check their card to see if they require an update.
