Woodpark Primary School

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.

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.
