Breakfast Club starts at 8:10am. We cannot admit children before this time. If children arrive before this time they will have to wait outside and as the weather has started to turn very cold in the mornings we would urge you not to send them until the doors are open to stop them getting cold. Thank you for your support in this matter.

Due to the adverse weather conditions all schools in West Lothian will be closed today (Wednesday). You can find updates on the West Lothian Council Facebook, website and Twitter.
Information about rescheduling Parent Consultantation Evenings at Dedridge PS will follow once schools reopen.
We would love to see some pictures of what you get up to in the snow and hear about the activities you do while you are off (pictures you draw, poems/stories about winter, recipes you bake, etc.).
Alyssa is on a bit of a roll at the moment. She correctly chose the name Sleepy for the breakfastclub/christmas fair name the owl competition . Well done.
In recent years we have seen a large number of Norovirus outbreaks in schools and nurseries during the winter months and these have caused service disruption, cancellation of activities like nativity plays and trips, staff shortages, school closures and many pupils being absent from class. Since the summer holidays in 2017 we have seen 5 schools affected.
Norovirus is very infectious and high numbers of children and staff can be affected at once. The symptoms of norovirus include sudden onset of nausea followed by projectile vomiting and/or diarrhoea and usually last 12 to 60 hours. A person can become infected as a result of contact with an infectious case, contact with a surface contaminated with the virus or ingesting contaminated food or drink.
We would like to remind you of the importance of being prepared and vigilant for norovirus outbreaks as prompt action prevents spread of the virus and reduces the number of people becoming ill. You may wish to ensure that you have an outbreak plan in place and practise how you would deal with an outbreak.
We would also like to remind all parents/carers that it is West Lothian Council policy that children should not attend school for a minimum of 48 hours from their last sickness or diarrhoea. All schools have been asked to be vigilant about this policy.
Another successful Dedridge Does Cafe Time,, with Parents/Carers and children making crafts and enjoying the company of others. It was a great atmosphere, informal, relaxing and fun. It was a delight to see so many more Adults and children joining us. Thank you for making it such a success and thank you to Parents/Carers who gave their apologies for not being able to attend. Here are just a few photographs that capture the atmosphere really well.
Another successful Dedridge does Cafe Time, this time with a Christmas theme! It was lovely to see a few new faces today. Word is getting out that it is the place to be!
