Month: April 2020

South Lanarkshire Council are offering families a range of supports, which will be delivered directly to homes to support them at this difficult time. These include:

• Sanitary products
• IT device
• Internet Access
• Physical resources, e.g. pens, paper, ruler, chalk, pain, scissors, glue, cellotape, whiteboard etc.

If you require any of these supports, please contact us on emergencyclosurerps@glow.sch.uk, stating what support you require. Alternatively, staff members will be phoning families over the next week to check in, so please let them know if you require any of these supports.

Everyone at Rigside PS hopes you and your family are well.

Mrs Mechan has issued an updated message to welcome everyone back after the Spring break fortnight.

From Friday 3 April there are new arrangements in place for children who are entitled to free school meals. Instead of packed lunches, £30 PayPoint vouchers will be sent directly to you fortnightly using the mobile phone numbers or email addresses South Lanarkshire Council already hold for you. If they don’t have your number or email they will post the vouchers to you. Parents/carers of eligible children do not need to apply for this payment. The first £30 payments will be made on Friday 3 April, covering weeks commencing 30 March and 6 April. Payments will be made only to those entitled to means-tested free school meals. This includes children in Primaries 1 to 3, who will be assessed for free school meal entitlement. Again, this is in line with Scottish Government guidelines.
