Glow Activity Update

 

Dear Parents, Carers and Students

I hope you are all keeping well and staying safe at this difficult time.

As we move into the new term we intend to provide a range of activity for our Step Unit Students in order to give the opportunity to maintain Language and Maths Skills and to give the opportunity to try some fun and interesting activities on a daily basis.

It is also an opportunity to keep in touch with their favourite teachers and to keep up contact!

This will be achieved using Glow Classrooms and Microsoft Teams.

All students have a glow login and password. Please encourage our students to log on and check in with the activities, they might even enjoy them, and will also be able to interact with classmates and friends.

We will continue to stay in touch on a regular basis and we can solve any issues as they arise as we adapt to new ways of keeping in touch and supporting each other.

We will also post a timetable of activity on social media outlets.

 

Keep healthy and stay safe.

 

With all best wishes.

 

Mr Coyle

Coronavirus / COVID-19

Dear Parent / Carer
You may be aware of ongoing media coverage of the impacts of the Coronavirus or COVID-19. The school and Council are continuing to monitor the situation and keep up to date with the latest guidance published by NHS Scotland and the Scottish Government to ensure we are fully prepared.

Where do I find the latest information?
For the latest information and up-to-date guidance, please visit
www.nhsinform.scot/coronavirus
This page provides information on the countries noted as ‘risk areas’, what to do if you’ve recently travelled there, or if you’ve been in contact with someone who has. Information is also available at http://www.renfrewshire.gov.uk/coronavirus

I think this applies to me.
If you believe you or your child may be affected, please stay at home and phone NHS24 on 111 or your local GP – you should call rather than visit your GP in the first instance. Once you’ve received medical advice and if it requires your child to remain off school, please call the school to advise.
