Covid-19 – Arrangements for wearing Masks

2020.08.26 ParentCarer Letter1

A letter has been sent to parents regarding Covid 19 arrangements in school, including the new regulations about wearing of masks which comes into effect on Monday 31st August.

Masks should be kept in a plastic bag/ similar when not being worn.

A clean mask should be brought each day.

Parents should get in touch with us at school if they think their child is exempt from wearing a mask so that we can inform the relevant staff.

This is another change that we will support young people with and we appreciate your support as always.

Acting Rector

 

Show My Homework

This week, S1 pupils are being sent home with letters and parent/guardian codes for Show My Homework.   Pupils will have logged into Show My Homework in school and will have some experience of returning homework.

When using SMHW on a PC at home, search for “Show My Homework Login” or click here.  If you wish to download the app onto other devices, this can be done through Google Play or the Apple Store.

Pupils will login using their Glow username and password and have been reminded to keep these in a safe place.
