*Free School Meals Update from East Lothian Council*
Dear Parents and Carers,
From Wednesday 1st April 2020, all children registered for and requesting Free School Meals provision for the current period of COVID-19 School Closures will be provided with a Weekly Lunch Pack. These lunch packs will be delivered to the home address of registered pupils. Parents who had previously arranged to collect Free School Meal entitlement from Children’s Hubs will have their Weekly Lunch Packs delivered to their registered home address instead. Free School Meals registered children who access emergency childcare at one of our Children’s Hubs will continue to be provided for there.
 Easter Holiday Period – Free School Meals
Weekly Lunch Packs will continue to be delivered to registered pupil’s home addresses until further notice, including the planned Easter Holiday for schools.
Those children who are registered for Free School Meals and have been accessing a Children’s Hub Childcare place in response to their additional support needs, will have a Weekly Lunch Pack delivered to their home address for the Easter holiday period. Provision will then revert back to the Children’s Hub from Tuesday 21st April 2020.
**Free School Meals – Delivery**
For those families in receipt of Free School Meals – your lunches FOR THE WEEK will be delivered to you today.
Please contact admin@cockenzie.elcschool.org.uk if there are any problems.

**Good Morning Everyone! We hope everybody is enjoying their first day of home learning!**

Teachers will set all tasks via Google Classroom. There is a shared Google Classroom for each year group enabling teachers to work together. Online home learning will begin Tuesday 24th March.

The Cockenzie Code
Recently in their PALs (Pupils as Leaders) teams, pupils shared ideas about how we demonstrate our values through positive behaviour at Cockenzie Primary School. There was a whole school vote which resulted in ‘The Cockenzie Code’.
