Current self-isolation guidelines
Dear Parents/Carers
I would like to share again the letter from Executive Director of Education Tony McDaid, which highlights current self-isolation guidelines:
“Self-isolation rules.
The approach of requiring whole classes or groupings of pupils to self-isolate as close contacts is no longer necessary in normal circumstances.
Therefore, there will no longer be a need to isolate whole groups of children and contact tracing will be undertaken by Test & Protect (T&P). If someone is identified by T&P as being a close contact the following new rules apply:-
• Children aged 5 to 18 years will not have to isolate for 10 days, so long as they remain asymptomatic and have a negative PCR.
• Under 5’s will not have to isolate so long as they remain asymptomatic but there is no mandatory requirement for them to have a negative PCR.
• Adults who are double vaccinated and have a negative PCR will no longer have to isolate if they are a contact of a positive case.”
Please click here for the letter in full
If your child receives a positive PCR test outwith school hours, please text the school mobile – 07867 348652 – with your child’s name, date of the positive PCR result and your contact details.
Thank you,
Mrs D MacKenna, Head Teacher

Covid-19 guidance
Dear Parents/Carers
I have had a few parents contact the school this morning concerned they had heard of a positive Covid-19 case within the school.
The guidance regarding positive cases of Covid-19 within educational establishments has been updated. On receipt of a positive PCR test result, a communication to parents would be issued to advise of a positive case within our school community.
Please see the NHS letter which was shared via our app and on our website at the start of term, also www.nhsinform.scot for further information.
Thank you.

Parent Club: Boosting Family Wellbeing
The new “Boosting Family Wellbeing” campaign from Parent Club aims to encourage and support you to introduce simple routines and positive interactions with your children into your everyday life, that might have been lost in the last 18 months. “Boosting Family Wellbeing” will familiarise parents with principles that build children’s happiness, confidence and independence – things like empowerment, safety, choice, working together and trustworthiness. The campaign will also give parents guidance and tips for weaving these principles into everyday moments, helping them to foster confidence and sense of responsibility in their children. Tips like setting the table. Before your meal, be it breakfast, lunch or dinner, give your child a clear instruction on how to set up the plates and cutlery at the table. They can be in charge of the table layout and where the family sit.
