The Amber Warning for Snow has been extended.  Additionally, it has not been possible to secure sufficient snow ploughing for school car parks and drop off areas, given the high demand on such services. Snow clearance is required before gritting can take place.   Pavements are also unlikely to be treated around main entrances by tomorrow morning.  The weather conditions remain not conducive to safe travel.

All schools and early years establishments in East Renfrewshire will therefore remain closed tomorrow (Friday). Staff and pupils should not attend.

As the closure continues, remember to make use of the school website, Yammer, GLOW and SQA website for past papers to keep up with your preparations for exams – particularly for S4, 5 & 6.

At present we are still expecting the Ski Trip to leave as planned on Saturday morning – at the school by 9.40 am. Bring additional snacks for journey in case of any delays. Keep checking Twitter 2016barrheadski

Again a one-day message – assume OK for Monday unless posted otherwise.
