It seems that we are going to see a lot of snow tonight and I very much doubt that we will be open tomorrow. Please keep an eye on this blog page and I will post a decision in the morning between 7am and 7.30am. It would be wise to make childcare arrangements tonight just in case.
Can I thank you all again for today. However, can I remind all parents that we have only opened this week because I have asked you to park at the bottom and walk. I cannot operate this without support from everyone. Several people chose to drive up to school today and this creates a risk to the children. If in future, I cannot operate this policy successfully then I will have one option and that is to close the school whilst there is ice on the hill - this must surely be more inconvenient than walking a short distance. My only concern is the safety of the children, staff and parents. I hope that I can count on this support next time so that we can stay open when many other schools are closed.
Enjoy the snow children and work on those fabric squares. When finished they are going to be used to make a curtain for the back of the school hall so be bright and imaginative. Also if you take any pictures in the snow bring them in to school and we can put some of them on the class blog page.
Many thanks,
Mr. Roberts
I totally agree, please don't drive up the hill when advised not to so that we can keep our children safe. We all walked before we could drive!
ReplyDeleteExcellent organisation again today. I hope that ALL parents respect Mr Roberts decision to walk to the school in the future when there is a risk to everyone in this weather.
ReplyDeleteexcellent organisation this morning. Lets support Mr Roberts.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have to park at the bottom and walk my daughters to school than have to arrange last minute childcare should the school be closed.
ReplyDeleteMr Roberts and the staff at the school deserve thanks for keeping the school open and the support of all parents whilst the weather and road conditions are bad.
I couldn't agree more. When the advice given is for the safety of our children, the least we can do as parents is heed it.
ReplyDeleteSurely everyone can see the sense in parking at the bottom & walking up. It has to be safier for the children. The children are happier in school instead of being bored at home. Well done to Mr Roberts & all the staff.
