The Courier

In light of the weather forecast for the region over the weekend, we wanted to remind parents of the school’s Bad Weather procedure.

The general overarching principle is that the school will be open, unless otherwise notified.

As heavy snowfall is predicted on Sunday, we will monitor the situation over the course of the day and provide an update on the school website late on Sunday afternoon.

Parents will be notified of any decision to close the school in the following ways:

• iSAMS: parents will receive a message on their mobile phone. This is the easiest and most direct method to inform parents of any changes to the normal routine.
• Information will be put on the school website.
• If possible the school’s answerphone message will be updated to reflect the situation.

Assuming we are open, please make sure your children are well wrapped up on Monday!  If we do have snow, and it isn’t too slushy, we are hoping to take the children out to play. To do this, they will also need their wellies and gloves so please send these in with your children on Monday if you can.

Dear Parents

I would like to make a couple of polite reminders to all parents to help us with the safe running of the school.

Early Arrivals
Please ensure that children who arrive early to school remain accompanied by their parents or guardians until the door opens at 8.15am.  If you need to drop your child off before this time, please take advantage of the Early Birds service.

Winter Coats
With the weather turning colder and wetter, can I please encourage you all to send your child to school wearing the Crescent School coat.  It is helpful when making decisions on wet (or cold) play for the staff here to know the children all have the warm winter layer to protect them.

Dogs on Site
In line with many, if not all, primary aged schools, dogs are not allowed on the main school site.  If you come to school with a dog please keep it on a lead and avoid coming onto the main site beyond the drop off gate (the one next to the parents’ noticeboard).

With thanks for your understanding and support on these important health and safety matters.
