Supporting children during unsettled times

Dear Parents /Carers

Following advice from the Scottish Government to close educational establishment today, we fully recognise that from today children and young people may be at home for a long period of time and we have produced a suite of materials to support their learning – further information about materials will be sent to you in due course.

Understandably, this is an unsettling time for children, young people and their carers and many people will be feeling anxious about the current situation and the impact that it may have on the health and wellbeing of family, friends and colleagues.

For this reason we have also included information to help you reassure your child.  Many of these resources have been developed in collaboration with South Lanarkshire Council.  The attached document provides some advice and guidance.

We will continue to up-date this resource and ensure that it is widely available online.  You will be notified of these updates next week.

Thank you for your on-going support during these challenging times.

Regards

Derek Brown

Executive Director

At a time of crisis our community values and strength lead us to think of and act on behalf of our most at need and vulnerable. While the next few weeks may well be challenging for many of us, for some the prospects are extremely bleak. Therefore we invite you to hand in to the school office tinned and dried goods that we can then distribute to those who we know would benefit from your generosity. This could include:

  • Tinned fruit
  • Tea bags
  • Dried Pasta
  • UHT Milk
  • Breakfast Cereals

Basically anything non-perishable would be very useful. Please offer whatever you can and either hand it into the office or a member of teaching staff from Wednesday morning onwards.

Your help as always is greatly appreciated and hopefully together we can make a small difference.
