Schools are gearing up to welcome some pupils back next week as part of Scotland's phased return to classrooms - but how will it work?
Nicola Sturgeon confirmed the back to school plan on Tuesday in her latest review of coronavirus lockdown measures, which will see some year groups return on February 22.
Scotland has been in lockdown since before Christmas, with school closures for most pupils being part of the plan to drive down infection levels.
However, the First Minister has repeatedly put the education of school kids as her number one priority during the pandemic.
Parents juggling childcare and work have been anxious to know if the phased plan would go ahead after lockdown was extended until early March.
The Scottish Government has now confirmed some year groups will head back to school on Monday - here is everything we know so far:
Who will go back to school?
On February 22:
Primary: Children in P1, P2 and P3 will return to class
Secondary school: Senior pupils who who need to complete coursework
Nursery: Pre-school nurseries will open
Additional needs: Some children and young people with significant additional support needs will also be prioritised for a return
Children of key workers: Children of key workers will remain at school
Vulnerable children: Vulnerable children will remain at school
When will more pupils return?
All other primary and secondary pupils will continue to use remote learning until at least the beginning of March, except in the case of vulnerable children and those of key workers.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said it was unlikely that any other pupils would return to school before 15 March at the earliest.
P1 to P3 - how will it work?
Sturgeon told MSPs children in P1 to P3 and some senior phase pupils will resume classroom learning from Monday.
The Scottish Government said younger pupils will return due to the evidence that they are less likely to transmit the virus and to have serious health effects from it.
Younger pupils are also less likely to successfully engage with remote learning than are older kids, while vulnerable children less able to access resources.
The Scottish Government's guidance states bringing children in P1 to P3 back to classrooms will be relatively straightforward in most schools.
However, smaller schools with shared classes may be challenged and teachers and the local authority will need to plan and organise for this.
Senior pupils - how will it work?
Senior phase students will also go back to the classroom to complete coursework.
It is intended that there will be no more than 5 to 8% of a secondary school roll physically present at any one time.
Senior phase learners in school to carry out practical activities related to national qualifications will be provided with a timetable of remote learning for when they are not in the classroom.
If those young people who attend school go offsite for lunch, they should follow the social distancing rules, such as wearing a face covering when entering a shop.
School transport and meals
School transport for children and young people attending school should continue.
The Scottish Government said out of school childcare settings, including breakfast and after school clubs, have been asked to only remain open for vulnerable pupils and children of key workers.
All children who are eligible for free school meals will continue to receive them during this period.
When will there be another update?
The First Minister said she hoped to set out the second phase of school re-opening in two weeks.
But in order to assess the impact of this limited reopening, Sturgeon said it was unlikely, at this stage, of any further return to school before 15 March.
The Scottish Government said that further changes should be "driven by the data and not by dates."
Will there be testing and social distancing?
Teachers, senior phase pupils and school staff will be able to get at-home lateral flow tests twice a week.
Senior secondary pupils will also be required to observe two metre physical distancing in school and on school transport.
