Glasgow parents should register their kids to for primary one, despite continued coronavirus fears.
Youngsters due to start school next year can sign them up in the week from Monday, November 2.
Glasgow City Council insist it's vital that the usual procedures are followed for little ones due to turn five before February 28, 2022.
The process has been successfully run online for the last four years with on average almost 6,000 children registered in this way for the school of their choice.
Education convener Chris Cunningham said: “There’s been very little to look forward to over the last few months, but ask any parent what’s a major step in their child’s development and many will answer that it’s the beginning of their school journey.
"This year the P1 enrolment can be viewed as a positive look ahead to next year when hopefully we will be in a much better place with the virus. We have to hope that August 2021 will see a fresh beginning for our wee ones."
Families have the right to make a placing request to any school in the city, however they should enrol at their catchment school in the first instance.
Parents and carers will be notified by February 2021 to confirm their child’s place and schools will be in touch with families to attend open days and school visits before the end of the school term.
