Good morning
Our thoughts are with all our families and the community of Forth as we move into week 12 of lockdown. It certainly isn't getting any easier, but we do know that things are very slowly beginning to move forward.
You may be aware that there is coming and going at school. Last week facilities staff were in alongside a couple of the staff team. The school has been deep cleaned and a number of annual checks have been carried out, that would normally take place throughout this final term.
ONGOING PRIORITIES
We now enter a planning and preparation phase, including a staggered return for staff over the next couple of weeks, as well as providing emergency childcare provision for key workers. All applications for this provision are managed by South Lanarkshire Council, not the school - Click here to apply .
Our top priority is the planning and preparations for the adapted health and safety for all our children and staff. This week I will be attending a head teacher's meeting online where further information and guidance will be given. Rest assured as soon as I have further information I will share as soon as possible.
The staff team will be supporting the childcare hub, carrying out a number of preparations for moving forward and teachers will continue to support their class online.
PUPIL REPORTS
As we now have access to the school we have made the decision to print reports and post out to families. Reports will be processed this week with the goal of posting soon. We are grateful for all the updated email addresses and will definitely be making use of these soon.
If you would like to speak to a member of the school staff, you can phone the school and leave a message and we will return your call as soon as we can.
There are some really creative and encouraging learning taking place within class teams. Look out for us acknowledging and celebrating these soon.
I have added a few news posts to the app. Mindfulness / Parent Club and Making Maths Counts support for parents.
Please do remember there is support available. We are only a phone call away.
Stay safe and take care,
Mrs Wood
