Welcome to our November online newsletter
Scottish Government announced on 30.10.2020 that parents should wear face coverings when they go near the school, including at drop off and pick up times.
School staff should wear masks in the classroom if they cannot keep 2m from children - with some exceptions for P1 and P2 classes.
Find out more information on the changes from the Scottish Government website.
