As we have several pupils and staff within our school who have severe nut allergies, we would be grateful if you could ensure that all snacks and packed lunches sent into school do not contain any products containing nuts (eg. Nutella, hazelnut chocolate spread, M& M’s, Reese’s Pieces etc).

Exposure to nut contamination can occur when a person handles nuts or nut products as the residual dust/oil can remain on skin for several hours after. Anaphylaxis is a severe and potentially life-threatening reaction to a trigger such as an nut allergy.

As part of the LPS Community, your co-operation with this matter is much appreciated.

Loanhead PS and ECC – 19.8.2020

We have today contacted all parents/carers by text with details of which of our 4 school buses their child has been allocated a seat on for the next school session. Day one arrangements are different for P1 pupils as they will all travel on a later bus, with one adult only per pupil, leaving Dick Road at 10.00am prompt. Parent/Carers please be aware that masks must be worn by all adults and can you please remain socially distanced from one another at all times.

On arrival at the school there will be an opportunity for you to take photographs of your child outside the building. Once your child has gone into their classroom, we will advise you on which bus your child will return at the end of the school day and this will be their allocated bus from that point on. We will also be issuing you with your Annual Data Pack which requires you to complete and return by Thursday 20th August. Following this you will be returned to Dick Road on the same bus/seat.

Myself and the staff are looking forward to greeting all the new P1’s and getting to know them.

Kind regards
Amanda Milne
Head Teacher, Acting
