Why have parents to monitor the School web address for notifications.
Were is the letter for consent for pupils to receive or take part in vaccinations or activities.
The school needs to contact parents directly without using our children who might not pass on he information needed.
Parents of S3 pupils were sent a Groupcall when this letter went online and a second reminder Groupcall last week. If you did not receive these please contact the school office to check we have the correct contact information for you.
Hi,
I completed the instructions on this letter albeit a day late and have not yet has a response. Was I too late or have appointments not been given as yet?
Good afternoon,
The information completed went directly to NHS Grampian. Immunisations have taken place in school, if your child did not receive this please contact your GP to arrange this. We don’t have any further information as this was all handled by NHS Grampian.
