Message from NLC. Due to severe weather warnings- a RED weather warning, ALL schools and nurseries in North Lanarkshire will be CLOSED tomorrow (Thursday 1st March). Please continue to seek advice on travel and safety from the Met Office and Transport Scotland. We will update school website/blog and twitter with updates about Friday as soon as we have information.
Pupils can complete some of the tasks which can be found on the Adverse Weather Work tab. They can read a boook, complete homework tasks, learn multiplication tables and go out and enjoy playing in the snow!
All North Lanarkshire Schools are closed today- Wednesday 28th February 2018. Updates about the situation tomorrow will be posted on here and on out Twitter Page.
Please click on the Adverse Weather Work link at the top of the page to access work to be completed at home, if the school is closed or if children are sent home early.
This information may be particularly relevant as snow is forecast and service delivery may be interrupted if we experience any severe weather conditions. Let’s hope that you do not need to use this information.
In severe weather, parents should make their arrangements taking account of the following:
Information will be updated on the North Lanarkshire website, www.northlanarkshire.gov.uk from approx. 7am.
Facebook and Twitter feeds @nlcwinter will also be updated.
Also keep an eye on our own twitter page @ShawheadPS and our website/blog https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/nl/shawheadps/
These feeds can be updated remotely by staff whereas our text system can only be updated from in school. This therefore relies on staff to be in school and text updates may not come through as quickly as twitter or blog updates.
Information will appear on the NLC website should schools need to close for any reason but this will only be in exceptional circumstances.
Information will also be broadcast on the radio through North Lanarkshire protocol procedures.
The school telephone number is 01236 794838. However, please check online for information before calling as phone lines will be busy and staff availability may be affected.
I hope you find this information useful as we are trying to plan ahead.
Yours Sincerely,
Helen Paterson
Head Teacher
