Face coverings update 27.08.20
Below is a copy of information sent out via GroupCall Xpressions app and email on 27.08.20. If you have not already done so, please download the free app or ensure we have an email address on file for you so you receive important updates.
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
It is recommended that pupils at secondary school wear face coverings from 31st August. Find out when you have to wear them, how to access face coverings and some top tips.

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