Return to School- Guidance for Parents

Dear Parents and Families of St. Joseph’s,
I hope you all had a restful and enjoyable Summer break.
I am sure that you will now be aware of the communications and information from West Lothian Council regarding the phased return of all pupils back to school. Please find attached further information and guidance relevant to St. Joseph’s PS to help prepare you and your family for the safe return of all pupils next week.
Myself and all the staff are very much looking forward to welcoming all of our pupils back to school. The Health and wellbeing of all is a clear priority and I know you will do all you can do support the guidance that has been carefully compiled on the basis of a thorough Risk Assessment.
I look forward to seeing many of you next week as we begin the return to school.
With kindest regards,
