SNOW/WINTER WEATHER PROCEDURES
Kids of 2022 will never have another Snow Day! And that's actually sad isn't it. I have fond memories sledging down a variety hills in deep luscious snow.... the reality was probably very different, but henceforth, the reality is even more "depressing" as we will in fact revert to Zool! Should the snow come… I will predominantly keep you posted of the state of affairs via facebook. Emails (if possible) will also be sent, and the school website – front page, latest news…. this will take you to the Snow Blog! We encourage you to use these as your initial ports of call should you need clarification on school opening. And if school is closed, then teachers will have the 1st day of school closure to set up zoom codes etc, which will be sent via Seasaw, and then from day 2 Zool (zoom school) will start!
That said, I will endeavour at all times to keep the school open; this isn’t just dependent on my decision, but also whether we have enough staff in school, not just to keep the kids safe, but to educate them! And teacher attendance isn’t a reflection of their dedication or determination to get to work – for some people this is their default assumption. We must acknowledge that we have staff who travel further! It was only a few years ago when I was the furthest commuter – from Wigan! Now though I’ve moved, Emma, and Michelle travel from the Sefton area, Nic travels from Preston, Naz from outer Manchester, and, well Louise just doesn’t drive in the snow! That said – I will do my very best to keep the school open at all times.
Should snow be heavy please let’s use common sense – a very underrated ability of human beings. The yards, paths and roads will be slippery… take care, and if you judge the journey to work to be too treacherous… don’t make it. Safety must at all times be paramount.
For your convenience, and in the spirit of the team work between home and school, when we do have snow difficulty remember we do keep the registers open until 10:00am… so please… keep safe.
