During the dark winter days, we encourage pupils to put safety first. This includes dressing appropriately so that they can be seen at all times and to wear appropriate outerwear/footwear for the weather conditions. Pupils have been reminded about the procedures to follow in the event of wintry weather, please discuss these arrangements with your son/daughter including if the school were to close during the day. If unable to get into school, pupils should work through the materials appropriate to them as instructed by their class teachers. Information about changes to school bus routes or school closures will be posted on the Aberdeenshire Council website and on the school infoline.
