KEEP OUR SCHOOLS SAFE
Welcome back – please help us keep the school and your children safe
by myadmin2 •
It has been a pleasure to welcome all of the children back to St Mary’s and we enjoyed our first virtual assembly on Friday. We have a number of measures in the school to try to limit the spread of coronavirus but everyone has a part to play in this. Please see the letter attached from NHS Lothian.

PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOUR CHILD DISPLAYS SYMPTOMS OF COVID 19 THEN THEY MUST NOT ATTEND SCHOOL, YOU NEED TO BOOK A TEST AND WE CANNOT ALLOW THEM TO RETURN UNTIL WE HAVE SEEN THE NEGATIVE TEST RESULT – PLEASE E MAIL RESULTS TO

We are also having to remind the children daily that although they don’t have to physically distance they should avoid physical contact at all times.
Please remind your children of these expectations.
