We appreciate that for many of you the last few days will have been stressful following the announcements for school in the new year. Rest assured planning is already well underway to ensure we meet the needs of all children.
School will open on Wednesday 6th of January for a small number of pupils. Where both parents are key workers provision is available and should be applied for using the link sent by NLC. This link can also be found below. I would kindly remind parents that this provision should only be used as a last resort.
Following the latest Scottish Government announcement regarding changes to school arrangements after the Christmas break, North Lanarkshire have issued a letter to all parents. This is attached on the link below.
The letter contains information for parents who are Key Workers. If you are a Key Worker and require your children to be at school you should complete the form below and return it to keyworkerschools@northlan.gov.uk.

Online learning for all pupils will commence from Monday 11th of January. All pupils will be issued a learning pack (collection times to be issued in the new year) and learning will also be issued daily using Teams in a similar way to homework. This will allow the teacher and pupils to communicate directly with each other. Nursery children will be set daily challenges through their learning journal.
We are all disappointed that we cannot return to school as planned however we look forward to welcoming all the children as soon as it is safe to do so.
Best Wishes,
Woodlands Primary School
