SEVERE WEATHER CONDITIONS

Unless specifically advised, schools will remain open during periods of severe weather. It is vital that parents/carers ensure that schools have the means to contact them should this position change. Decisions to close will be made as early as possible. To be kept up to date with closure information:

• By text or email through Fife Direct – Notification of a school closure is done by schools through Fife Direct. To sign up to receive text or email alerts, please enter your contact details via www.fifedirect.org.uk/alerts, click on Alerts and under Alert Services click on join fifedirect.
• By text or email through your school – Make sure that you have given your up to date mobile number and email address details to the school so that they can contact you via Groupcall. These messages will provide supplementary information to the above.
• Visit www.fifedirect.org.uk/closures. Also, check the website of your own school.
• Follow-us on  twitter.com/fifecouncil.
• Listen to Kingdom FM, Forth One and Tay FM.

Schools also circulate severe weather information for parents and carers at the start of the winter term. This may be added to their websites, shared through email or text messages and/or distributed via school bag mail drop.

We will also update families regularly through our Primary School APP.

Where the school is closed unexpectedly activities for learning at home will be communicated via TEAMS and SEESAW
