Social Distancing
Many thanks to the majority of parents who are abiding by the advice and guidance coming from Scottish Government and the school in relation to social distancing/wearing a mask around the school at drop off and pick up times. Please avoid standing at the school gates (particulary if you are not wearing a mask) as pupils need a clear exit and other parents have to pass a congested area. It is great to see that so many of our pupils know their pick up point and can confidently meet you at a reasonable distance from the school and school gates.

Aug-Sept’ School Newsletter
Please note the link below for our school newsletter for the start of term . At present we are only able to issue an electronic copy as our school printer is awaiting repairs. When the printer is repaired a paper copy will follow. It is our intention to become paperless in regard of all communication coming from the school. If you have not made the school aware of your e-mail address please contact the school. Data forms will be issued shortly to update your child’s information, contact details and to provide e-mail address.
Please note the pick up times for Pr. 1 are 2.45pm each day. The pick up time for Pr. 2 is 2.50pm. Please pick up your child and leave in order to ensure the appropriate level of social distancing around the school.
Please make sure you have read all previous publications in regard to Back to School information to save making calls to the office.
First Day for Pr 1, 2 and 3
It was wonderful to welcome our new Pr. 1 pupils to the school this morning and to see how splendid they were in their uniform and how confidently they strolled into school. Quite amazing! They had a wonderful day in class and will no doubt have been delighted to share a story or two of their day and new friendships made. All teachers focused upon enhanced personal hygiene and the importance of social distancing. Whist children do not need to social distance, teachers must keep a 2 metre distance. If this is not possible and close contact is beyond 15 minutes then staff will wear a mask.
Pr. 1 pupils will attend school at 9.00am tomorrow and will share the yard with the pupils of Pr. 4 – 7 who will also arrive at 9.00am.
Please be mindful at drop off time that only one adult is present to escort their Pr. 1 child to the school gate and that you leave in order to enable all parents to socially distance. Pick up time for Pr. 1 pupils will remain at 2.45pm. Please ensure only one adult is there to pick up and that you leave the school site to avoid any form of crowding or congestion particularly at the school gate.
Pr. 2 pupils will leave at 2.50pm.
Pr. 4 – 7 pupils will depart at 3.00pm.
Please note that the school is monitoring the level of social distancing at the school gates and fences. May I kindly remind all parents and in particular parents of older children of the need to organise a pick up point slightly further from the school to ease congestion and ensure social distancing at this time.
