MESSAGE TO PARENTS FROM DIRECTOR SKILLS, EDUCATION AND LEARNING

 Dear Parents

Covid19 Pandemic

I wanted to write to all families to confirm the message from the First Minister earlier this afternoon that schools and nurseries across Scotland will close from the end of the school day on Friday.  I will provide more detail on how we plan to support you and your family during this very difficult time as soon as this information becomes available.

We will send all information directly to Headteachers and will ensure that all Council communication channels (Website, Facebook and Twitter) are updated with the latest information for you.

If you are a worker within Health and Social Care or the Emergency Services, or if you have a senior phase pupil preparing for exams, targeted information will follow.

We ask that you continue to remain in contact with your school and your Headteacher if you have any concerns at all.  Thank you for your support as we work through this difficult time.

Yours Sincerely,

Dr Gillian Brydson.

Director Skills, Education and Learning

Dumfries and Galloway Council

Wild Foods

By now we wanted to get a link to Mark’s website and to say a huge thank you for an excellent night of wild eating.

Mark came armed with a wealth of foraging knowledge and some excellent seed cake. We are looking for his elderberry cordial recipe so that we can try to make it in the Autumn.

Remember that you must be very careful and ask an adult before eating anything from the hedgerows – we hope Jack has emptied his forage filled pocket!!

Thanks Mark – look forward to seeing you back at Holywood soon.
