Due to the current pandemic we are being asked to monitor absences and the reason for these.  I would be grateful if, when you phone to report your child’s absence, you give us as much information as possible about the reason they are absent.  If their absence is linked to symptoms of coronavirus (continuous cough, high temperature, change in taste or smell) we would suggest getting a test.  This can be arranged online (www.nhsinform.scot) or by phoning 0800 028 2816.  Please do not send your child to school if they or someone in your household has symptoms or is awaiting test results.

We would also ask that you contact us daily while your child is absent in order for us to update the information we have about their condition.
