Return of Children to School

As stated in Tony McDaid’s letter yesterday all schools will re-open on Tuesday 11th August.  South Lanarkshire Council are using a phased return model in order to allow us to best support the children.  Apart from the first P1 day, on Wednesday, the children will return in classes and not by stage.  Please see the information below so that you know when your child will return to school.  When children are in school next week they will return from 9am till 3pm.

Tuesday, 11th             Staff inservice day
Wednesday, 12th        P1 children only
Thursday, 13th            P1/2, P2/3 and P3/4/5 children only
Friday, 14th                 P5/6 and P6/7 children only
Monday, 17th              all children to return to school, there may be a staggered start/finish at this point but we will decide this once we see how next week works.

Please note that the car park will be closed to parents and we would request that you try not to come to school, if possible.  If you need to come into the playground please note that you should socially distance and remain 2m from others.  Children should come to school as close to 9am as possible.

Primary 1 parents are asked to bring your child round to the back of the school where they will be met by a member of staff.  Unfortunately parents will not be able to enter the school building.  I know you always like a ‘first day’ photo.  Staff will take one of your child in class and we will get these to you as soon as we can.

I am currently working on a newsletter to give you more information.  This will be put on the website and posted to each family within the next day or two.

If you feel that there is anything we should know about your child before they start back at school (perhaps they have really struggled with lockdown, a family member has been seriously ill or died) please drop me an email so that we can be in the best position to support your child when they return.  Please email information to gw14carnwathpsht@glow.sch.uk 

I will send out a separate message regarding nursery children.
