Wishaw’s youngest school pupils are likely to return to the classroom full time from February 22 as schools start a phased reopening.
The move will include all pupils in P1-P3 as well as pre-school children.
There will also be a part-time return, but on a very limited basis, for senior secondary pupils to allow them to complete work for national qualifications.
A final decision will be taken on the partial reopening in a fortnight.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has extended the existing lockdown restrictions - due to run out in the middle of the month - for another fortnight.
It means pubs and restaurants will remain shut along with non-essential shops, while people can still only meet one other person from one other household.
Ms Sturgeon said the figures are still “too high”, although they showed “real progress” and that lockdown measures are working.
If figures continue to fall, restrictions may begin being eased at the start of March, with an update on that possibility due in a fortnight.
Across Scotland, a further 758 people tested positive for Covid, with the overall figure now at 181,291.
A further 69 people have passed away, with the national death toll now at 6,181.
