With weather forecasting being more accurate these days, we would hope to have advance of heavy snowfall or strong winds etc. If an early decision <\/strong>is made to close the school, we will attempt to broadcast this on Central FM Radio (103.1 FM), on our school app, via text or email and if appropriate telephone call.\u00a0 Stirling Council\u2019s website will have information on school and road closures, www.stirling.gov.uk<\/u><\/a>.\u00a0 Signs will be posted at the front and back of the school to inform parents and children also.<\/p>\n If you are phoning the school to find out about closure, please be patient if the line is engaged. If a decision has to be made during the day and staff who do not live in Callander have to leave, then core staff will remain with the children and will\u00a0 endeavour to contact parents to collect their children as soon as is possible.<\/p>\n We only take the decision to close the school as a last resort<\/strong>.<\/p>\n For this reason, it is vitally important that emergency contact details for parents and carers are kept up-to-date with at least two additional contacts if at all possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In the event of an emergency or the school having to close, we will use our school app, text messaging, email and our Twitter page\u00a0 to inform parents\u00a0immediately.
