School closure information:
I think that snow is great as long as it falls only on Christmas Day or on a weekend. Apparently it's not so simple and therefore now is a good time to prepare in the right way and to lessen the stress should snow occur. The decision to close will only be made should the teachers not be able to travel work safely. We can't open the school unless all health and safety aspects are covered.
Now is the time to keep a close eye on the forecast and consider backup plans if school closes.
If the school is open, then the expectation is that it is business as usual and all children should be present. I will always notify you using the texting service as soon as I can to help you to make your plans.
Take good care,
Mrs Meade
