Over the next few weeks, our local authority is planning to ask all pupils in P5 to S6 to take part in a survey about their health and wellbeing. The findings will help our local authority to understand the needs, strengths and possible concerns of children and young people, which will help plan future improvements to local services. Parents have already received a letter that will have provided them with more detailed information about the Census, and provided them with the opportunity to let us know if you don’t wish your child to take part.

Covid Update

The rules on self-isolation for household contacts have changed.

If you’re identified as a household contact of a positive COVID-19 case, you are advised to self-isolate for 10 days – irrespective of vaccination status, PCR test result and age.

What should I do if my child has COVID 19 symptoms?

It is extremely important that you continue to look out for symptoms of the virus amongst your own family. The most common symptoms are:

• new, continuous cough
• fever/high temperature (37.8C or greater)
• loss of, or change in, sense of smell or taste

If your child has symptoms, they should not attend school and you should book them a test immediately. They should remain at home and everyone in the household should self-isolate until they receive their test results. If the test is negative, everyone can stop isolating (and return to school). 

More information can be found on the parentclub website by clicking HERE .

If you do not have symptoms, you can order rapid lateral flow tests for regular testing at home.

The Scottish Government are encouraging everyone to take regular tests, particularly if you’re socialising or mixing with other households.
