Sanitary Products

North Lanarkshire Council has made sanitary products available to all pupils in North Lanarkshire schools.  For the Council, the provision of sanitary products programme has two aims. The first is to tackle a poverty-related injustice in a non-stigmatising manner; the second is to confront taboos that surround the issue of periods.

Sanitary products are freely available to all pupils in Chryston High School.  They are in toilets in “help yourself” baskets.

Attendance Information

Reporting an absence

If your child is absent at the start of the day, you will receive a text message.  You should reply to the text message stating a reason for the absence.  You are no longer required to send an absence note upon your child’s return.  You will receive a text each day of the absence.

Requesting permission for medical appointments or informing us of any other planned absence

You should send a text message stating the reason for and duration of the planned absence.  Again, you do not need to provide a letter upon your child’s return.  You will receive a text stating, “You can reply to this text to notify us of a planned absence.”  This is to ensure all parents have an open text to which they can reply.
