The incident team managing the Covid-19 outbreak at Kingspark School in Dundee is finalising plans to reopen the facility.
Kingspark School will reopen on a phased basis from Monday, September 7 to assist with the safe return of both pupils and staff.
Induction days for staff and pupils will be held across that week.
From Monday September 14, a part-time timetable will be in operation.
It is expected that pupils will return full-time before the October holiday.
Further details about the induction days and timetabling arrangements will be sent to families once they are confirmed.
The school has been contacting families to offer help and support during the closure period and will maintain contact during the recovery and reopening period.
It comes after NHS Tayside confirmed there were no changes to the Covid-19 situation at any of the Tayside schools currently affected.
Paul Clancy, Dundee City Council executive director of children and families services, said: “We are carrying out close consultation with families and our colleagues in public health, as well as trade unions, health and safety and Tayside Contracts among others.
“The safety of pupils, staff and everyone working in connection with the school is paramount. We need to ensure safe staffing numbers in Kingspark at all times.
“That is why we will be implementing a recovery plan that seeks to learn lessons from the outbreak and ensure that Kingspark School can reopen as safely as possible.
“We understand that families and staff may be anxious about this and that is why we are taking a gradual approach and will be taking every opportunity to explain the details to them.
“If anyone has any concerns we will be happy to discuss them directly.”
The school for children and young people with additional support needs was closed on Wednesday August 19, following a coronavirus outbreak which has so far affected 23 members of staff, 3 pupils and 14 community contacts.
Public health advised all members of staff and pupils to self-isolate for 14 days, with Wednesday September 2 being the last day of that period.
Meanwhile, NHS Tayside’s public health team said in its daily update there was no change in the Covid-19 situation at St Johns RC Academy in Perth and Kingspark, St Clement’s RC primary, Grove Academy, SS Peter and Paul primary and Happy Times Out-Of-School Club at Downfield Primary School in Dundee.
A spokeswoman for the team reminded parents that if they have not been contacted individually, their child has not been identified as a contact of a case, and they can continue to attend school and undertake other activities as normal.
The team is working with Dundee City and Perth & Kinross Councils, Scottish Government and Public Health Scotland to provide advice and support around the cases linked to schools in Tayside.
Dr Ellie Hothersall, NHS Tayside public health consultant, said: “I would like to thank all staff and children at Kingspark School and their families for following the self-isolation advice, as this is so important in preventing further transmission of the virus in the community.”
