Dear Family and Friends of Crossmichael Primary School,<\/p>\n

I hope that you are well.\u00a0 I wanted to update you on the guidance issued to school about signs of Covid-19 on Tuesday 25th August.\u00a0 You should not send your child to school if they have any of these three symptoms:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A new continuous cough<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. A high temperature<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. A loss or change to their sense of smell of taste<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The advice from the Health Protection Team is that Children \/ Staff who are unwell but not displaying the standard 3 x COVID-19 related symptoms should also not attend school e.g. sore throat, colds, vomiting \/ diarrhoea general unwellness. <\/strong><\/p>\n

    Please see the poster issued last week:<\/p>\n

    Schools building sign for illness<\/a><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    What if we have a confirmed positive case of Covid-19 in school?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    We have stringent risk assessments in place in the event that a person displays symptoms of Covid-19 when in school.<\/p>\n

    If this was an adult then they would be sent home immediately and would book a test.\u00a0 If this was a child then we would isolate them in a quiet room until they could be collected and taken for a test.\u00a0 \u00a0Their siblings should also remain at home during this time.<\/p>\n

    If the test comes back negative then the adult\/ child can return to school once they are feeling well again<\/em>.<\/p>\n

    If the test is confirmed as a positive then the adult\/ child would need to isolate for 10 days.\u00a0 The school would be thoroughly deep cleaned.<\/p>\n

    The school will cooperate with Test & Protect procedures and follow guidance from our Public Health team to ensure that all members of our school community are kept safe.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Portacabin Delivery<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The portacabin is no longer being delivered tomorrow because the forecast is for high winds.\u00a0 We hope it will arrive on Wednesday instead.\u00a0 You may use the roads around the school tomorrow but there will be disruption on Wednesday.\u00a0 We will send out a Group Call once arrangements are confirmed.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n
