Return to school and online learning

Dear Parent/Carer

As outlined in the Authority communication on Tuesday 16th, we look forward to welcoming back our children in P1-P3 on Monday 22nd February.   Children in P4-P7  who are already registered as keyworker or vulnerable should continue to attend from Thursday 18th onwards.  Just to reassure you, as we have always had children in, we have always maintained our high standards of mitigating factors.

Please note that school buses will be operating at normal times, prompt departure at 8.50am, Dick Road.  From Monday P1 & P2 pupils will travel on bus 1 and P3 pupils will travel on bus 2 .  We are awaiting confirmation on bus details for P4-P7 and will advise this as soon as possible.

Remote learning for all other P4-P7 pupils  will continue until we are advised of a return to school date by the Scottish Government.

We look forward to seeing your children returning and thank you for your continued support at this time.

The Exchange Counselling for 10+years children

The-Exchange: a counselling and psychological support service for young people

The-Exchange is now providing counselling and emotional and psychological support in your child’s school.  The service provides a private space where children and young people can talk about things which are troubling them.  Talking things over with a professional can help children to find better ways to cope with difficulties.  If your child’s teacher or a key adult within the school feels that counselling may be beneficial to them, they will always contact you before making a referral to The-Exchange.  For children under the age of 12, parental consent is required in order for the child to attend the counselling or psychological support sessions.  When supporting children under the age of 12, The Exchange involve parents at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of the process with an aim to improve the overall resilience and psychological wellbeing of the family.
