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.

Moray Council support with ICT for learning from home.
Please use the link below to register your need, Moray Council will verify this with us at KGS and then resources may be available to help.
Please read the following information from Moray Council:
We know that not every family with school-aged children in Moray will have access to IT equipment to support digital learning, but we want every pupil to be able to have that opportunity. Glow, and other learning websites, are widely used in schools and can support your child’s learning in and out of the classroom.
We’re asking families to let us know what equipment and broadband is needed, so we can make this happen. We can then work with our schools and community partners to make sure our all of children and young people are equipped and ready for online learning.

Letter from Head of Service
Term 4 Arrangements Letter 280420
Attached is a letter from Vivienne Cross, Head of Education, which was sent out today. Please note that Friday 1st May is now an In-Service Training day to allow teaching staff in Moray secondary schools time to prepare for the early moving on of the timetable. Please note that this is not an extra day but the INSET planned for the 14th of May brought forward.
15th May is still an INSET day and 8th May is a public holiday so no scheduled classes, setting of work or communication with class teachers will be available on any of those days just as would be the case were we physically in school.
Letters outlining the moving on of classes into the new session’s ‘timetable’ from next Monday and choice of course outcomes will be sent home this week explaining how this will work. The rationale behind all this is to engage and motivate our learners and make the best use of the time created by the cancellation of SQA exams and exam leave. Students will be able to complete work still required to be done and make a start on some new level courses.
Rest assured that well-being and equity are very much at the heart of all our decisions. We don’t want anyone to be left out or left behind.
Please take care,
Mrs Bain
