So as to avoid frustration and busy phone lines, we would ask that you report the absence of your child via other means to keep the phone lines as clear as possible. This also allows us to link with our bus companies to provide updates on the whereabouts of the buses or if buses are cancelled. By keeping the phone lines clear it allows us to relay information to families as quickly as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"xmsonormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt\">Alternative ways to report your child\u2019s absence are as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"xmsonormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt\">School Text message system: <span style=\"color: black;background: yellow\">07860030498<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"xmsonormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt\">Email: <span style=\"color: black;background: yellow\"><a href=\"mailto:enquiries-at-greenfaulds@northlan.org.uk\">enquiries-at-greenfaulds@northlan.org.uk<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"xmsonormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt\">Parent Portal: <span style=\"color: black;background: yellow\">parentsportal.scot<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"xmsonormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt\">If you can let us know your child\u2019s Forename and Surname, the year they are in, the reason for the absence and if it will be a full or part day absence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"xmsonormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt\">An example: Joe Blogg, S3, Heavy Snow, Full day<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"xmsonormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt\">I hope you find this information helpful and fingers crossed that we do not have any disruption caused by snow in the next few days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"xmsonormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt\">Kind regards<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"xmsonormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt\">Jamie<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"xmsonormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"xmsonormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt;color: #212121\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt;color: #212121\">Jamie Vaughn-Sharp<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"xmsonormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt;color: #212121\">Ceannard Sgoile \/ Head Teacher<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"xmsonormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt;color: #212121\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt;color: #212121\">\u00c0rd-sgoil Greenfaulds \/ Greenfaulds High School<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"xmsonormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt;color: #212121\">Rathad Auchenkilns \/ Auchenkilns Road<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"xmsonormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt;color: #212121\">Comar nan Allt \/ Cumbernauld\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"xmsonormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt;color: #212121\">Glaschu \/ Glasgow<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"xmsonormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt;color: #212121\">G67 4AQ<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Parent\/Carer \u00a0I hope you are well. \u00a0You may be aware that the weather forecast for the next 24 hours shows a yellow warning for snow for Central Scotland.\u00a0 Whilst this may bring us some disruption, it may also pass without incident.\u00a0 However, I did think that this was a pertinent time to highlight a &hellip;
