Wishing You Well
Over the next few weeks, my main priority is ensuring that we are safe and well. It will take some time for us all to adjust to the changes we are experiencing. It can be overwhelming for pupils, families and staff. Teachers will be sharing learning activities with you and your child(ren) in the ways highlighted below. We hope that you find this communication useful and we welcome your feedback. Thank you for your patience as we find ways of supporting each other during this difficult time.
Communication
- Communication with parents/ carers – Generic information is communicated via the school website and blog by the Headteacher. Teachers are communicating with parents/ carers either by email or via the class Facebook page.
- Communication with pupils – P1-3 Teachers are communicating via the parents/ carers (as above) as the children are too young to access GLOW groups. P4-7 pupils are communicating via GLOW groups.
I would like to reassure you that staff are on hand to provide support between 9am and 3pm. Please feel free to email us directly, message us via the class Facebook pages and older pupils can email us via GLOW groups. You can also contact me directly on my work mobile: 07741 686730.
Emergency Childcare for Critical Key Workers
Castle Douglas Primary School has been opened as a hub providing emergency child care to children of critical key workers. It is important to keep the number of children in school and private childcare sectors to the absolute minimum, as mentioned in the First Minister’s statement yesterday, in order to contain the spread of the virus.
