As always, the collection of resources is so important for your child’s home learning. Thank you for your continued help and support.
As we head into the long weekend, we would urge all parents and carers to remain aware of online activity among your children. Online learning has massively increased the use of cameras – in particular your child’s ability to use them. With this inevitably comes risks and dangers from people taking advantage of the situation.
There is a TikTok viral going around today encouraging children to visit the website omegle.com
This is a website where anyone is randomly matched to someone else and they are instantly connected via webcam. This of course is dangerous and could easily expose your children to the worst of the internet, so please remain vigilant.
We would strongly encourage everyone to use the long weekend to –
In school we always state if they do not physically know the person, they should not be their contact in an app and should not be able to contact them.
A reminder that tomorrow and Thursday (3rd & 4th of February) we invite you to attend the school if your child is running low on space and needs any new jotters to support their online learning.
Time slots for jotter collection on these days are between 10-11am and 1-2pm. Please attend the main school office and observe social distancing.
In the Primary 7 Google Classroom today they will find a form asking if they have any questions whatsoever about heading up to high school. On the form there is also a section for parents/carers to ask any questions.
This is a great chance to find out anything that may be on your mind. The forms will be sent back to LHS next Friday, so if you could make sure your child ‘hands in’ the form on Google Classroom before 10am next Friday (5th February) it would be appreciated.

The offer of emergency childcare provision will be reinstated across the mid-February holiday and In-service day – Monday 8th, Tuesday 9th and Wednesday 10th February. This provision will be a similar model to the previous summer emergency childcare hubs and will operate in a small number of establishments across South Lanarkshire. Opening hours and the details of locations as well as the enrolment form are included in the information below. Please note transport will not be provided. The deadline for applications is Monday 1st February 9.30am and notifications will be given by close of business on Thursday 4th February – all allocations are centrally granted.
