This is a Moray-wide system so if you register online, you will receive alerts regarding all sorts of Council services – not only school closures – depending on your preferences.
For school closures, the system will work as follows:
1. The decision to close the school is taken by the Head Teacher or his/her Depute.
2. The Head Teacher or Depute will:
o Post on the Moray Council Service Disruption webpage. This will be visible to anyone who visits https://secure.moray.gov.uk/mcalerts/portal on the Council website.
o Post on the Moray Council Facebook page and Twitter feed.
o Send an Email Alert message. This message will only be received by those who have registered at mygovscot https://online.moray.gov.uk/site/wss/home and chosen Rothiemay Primary School as services about which they wish to receive alerts.
3. A message will also be posted on the THUS School Information Line, while this service is still available.
Please note:
- Alerts will not appear on the school website or Facebook page – only those of the Moray Council.
- A text message will not be sent for closures outside school hours.
- The Council’s system no longer informs Moray Firth Radio, automatically, so broadcasts should no longer be relied upon for up-to-date school closure information.
What to do, now:
- Go to mygovscot https://online.moray.gov.uk/site/wss/home, create your account and choose Rothiemay Primary School and/or Nursery as services for which you would like to receiver alerts
- Familiarise yourself with the procedures on the flowchart and ensure that you have emergency contacts or addresses in place, as necessary. Keep your flowchart in a safe place.
