Dear Parent/carer,
We are delighted to be able to have our ELC and P1-3 children return on Monday 22nd February. Our focus will be on health and well-being, especially building relationships and confidence.
Separate guidance is being issued to the parents of ELC children to support their safe return.
We have safety as our main priority and have procedures in place to keep everyone safe. Staff have access to Lateral Flow Test kits and will be wearing face coverings and adhering to the 2m distance advice. Pupils will work in their groupings and be allocated seats in the classroom, dining room and on school transport. Regular handwashing and hand sanitizer stations are in place in each class. Pupils travelling on school transport are requested to wear face coverings unless exempt.
In the morning, Primary 1, 1/2, and 2 children will enter the playground and play in their zone until the bell rings at 8.45 am. They will be collected by their teacher and enter a class at a time. At the end of the day, classes will be dismissed a class at a time in the order P2, P1 then P2/1. Parents should wait in the wait zones near the car park, then come forward in order, to collect their child and exit through the main Infant gate. This is the same process we used between August and December. Please remember to wear a face covering inside the school grounds and stay 2m apart from others.
The breakfast club is open only for the children of key workers and those who have been attending since Christmas. PE will be outside, so please make sure the children are dressed for the weather conditions. Please do not sent the children to school if they are unwell or if a family member has booked a test or is awaiting test results.
We are busy preparing for the children’s return and look forward to seeing them on Monday.
Yours sincerely
Frances Burns
