Dear Families and Friends of Crossmichael and Gelston Primary Schools,

 

Covid-19 Updates

On Thursday and Friday last week, we had to close Gelston Primary School and move to remote learning due to staff shortages.  Several adults and pupils tested positive for Covid-19.  (Unfortunately, I also tested positive meaning that we had no member of senior management available to work alongside supply teachers so we had no option but to close.)

I am delighted to say that we have re-opened this morning.  I wish all adults and pupils a speedy recovery and I look forward to seeing you soon.

At Crossmichael Primary School, Chicken Pox is doing the rounds again but the number of Covid-19 cases remains relatively low in comparison to those at Gelston.
