Dear Parent/Carer,

As you will be aware the advice around wearing facemasks is changing and from Monday 31st we need everyone (except those with exemptions) to wear a mask in those busy areas. Many pupils are already wearing them when moving around school and you may have seen picture we shared on Twitter last week of staff wearing them as they move around school.  Others will be used to wearing them on public transport or in local shops. We will go over the advice again during registration classes tomorrow and produce some resources for our website. There is some really useful material on the Young Scot website to help support pupils and you can find it here. https://young.scot/get-informed/national/facts-at-secondary-school

Pupil Support staff will also have a small supply of masks for next week in case any pupil requires one.

School Day Timings

Please see attached for information on the new start and finish times for pupils as well as times for interval and lunch. Time has been built in to allow pupils to move around the school. School begins slightly earlier for S1-S3 pupils and slightly later for S4-S6 pupils. There will be no MTA for the time being and period 5 on Fridays will finish a little earlier than last year to allow for the earlier start in the mornings. As far as possible, pupils are asked not to come to school too early but to stick to the times outlined.
