Please read the latest school update by North Lanarkshire Council:

Today’s announcement from the Scottish Government outlines the plan to reopen all schools on a full time basis from August.
 
We are currently considering the practicalities and implications of this announcement and will await further clarification and guidance from government, particularly in relation to public health and scientific advice.
 
Our priority is the safety of our pupils and staff across our network of primary, secondary and ASN schools, as well as our early learning and childcare settings.
 
We understand that you will have questions, and as this news was only announced today, we will make further information available on how this impacts on our schools andfacilities in the coming days.
 
We are preparing for pupils to return full-time to school on 12 August and we will be working closely with our schools and partners, including our early years and childcare provision to establish our plans, which we will communicate as soon as we are in a position to.
