Whalsay School

The first day of the S4 Prelims has been lost due to the snow closure today.  S4 pupils in French and Music, please be aware that these will be re-scheduled for 2pm tomorrow.

Over the past few days, Eyvor Irvine and other volunteers in Secondary and the community have been delivering the Christmas cards that we had planned to deliver on Wednesday.  I would like to thank Eyvor for all her hard work and coordination of this, the others who have helped and the community for supporting the scheme.  We are hoping that all of the cards will be delivered by the end of today.

Please note that Whalsay School and ELC will be closed tomorrow, Friday 16th December.

Please also note that there are no Skills for Work courses taking place across Shetland tomorrow.  If you are in contact with any families with pupils in S4, please pass this message on.

Please note that Whalsay School will not be opening tomorrow, Thursday 15th December.

Just a further update on our plans to re-schedule the concerts next week:

We are hoping to run the concerts on Monday at 2pm and Tuesday at 10am.  In order to simplify arrangements with tickets, we are asking that people stick to their prior ticketing allocations if possible; i.e. those scheduled for the Tues 13^th concert attend on Monday and those scheduled for the Wed 14^th matinee attend on Tuesday.  Secondary pupils who have tickets for the Tuesday 13^th concert will be released from classes to attend on Monday afternoon.  If you still need to change your allocation or are unable to attend, please contact the Primary office when school re-opens.

Please note that Whalsay School will not be opening tomorrow Wednesday 14th December.  We are looking into the possibility of re-scheduling the Concerts planned for this evening and tomorrow afternoon and will update you on this on our return to school.

All schools and early learning settings in Shetland will be closed tomorrow (Tuesday 13 December) due to the weather.

Due to worsening conditions parents may collect pupils early this afternoon. Please come in to school to collect your children from the primary or secondary office. At the moment the bus will be at the normal time.
