First Ministers Education announcement on 30th July 2020

 Dear Parent/Carers,

The First Ministers announcement on 30th July 2020 has confirmed that schools will return full time from 11th August, however some authorities may have different start dates and we are awaiting confirmation of NAC start date.

As soon as we have this I will email you all and i will also add it to the website. PLEASE NOTE: We are awaiting NAC confirmation that the authority is going to deliver the 1140 hours, we are hopeful that NAC will provide this guidance later today.

WKEYC is fully committed to delivering the 1140 and staff are busy preparing classes for our wee people to return to us. We are sooo excited and can't wait to see you all again and to meet our new wee ones.

Website: We have been updating the website daily and we would ask that you keep up to date with this as we are putting lots of useful information on it for you and this will include our risk assessment for the control of COVID-19.

We are now starting to add 360 video clips of all the classes for you and your children to view and to become familiar with the new classes. 

Our lovely garden areas are getting all spruced up ready for lots of outdoor play. 

With some of the restrictions that we will have in place, parents will need to  ensure that your child has an appropriate waterproof jacket, trousers and wellies as we have to refrain from using the nursery jackets at this time.

All children must come with a pair of indoor shoes as they have to change footwear prior to entering the classrooms. The ‘Our Uniform’ tab under the resources heading on the website has a link to the company called MYCLOTHING where you can purchase polo shirts and fleeces, please ensure that all clothing including footwear is labelled with your child's name. We would advise that your child has a fleecy to wear as we have to ensure that all windows are open all the time for increased ventilation.

Medications & Allergies: Should your child's health & well being requirements have CHANGED over this closure period we ask that you ensure you update us by email and we will email the consent form for you to complete and then provide us with any prescribed medication which must be handed in with its original box. Parents should have administered the first dose to ensure your child is not allergic to the medication.

If we can support you in any way we will strive to do our best for you and your family, please let us know how we can help you. So folks it's getting closer to us getting back to a wee bit of normality and we ask for your continued support in meeting any changes that we have had to make which will keep us all safe.

I will give you another update soon,

Have a good weekend.

Kindest Regards

Angela and the team. x
