In the event of an emergency closure, or closure due to severe weather you will be informed via Groupcall messenger. This information will also be shared on the Midlothian Council Website, local radio stations, and sent out via our app.
In adverse weather or in case of emergency closure it may be necessary to send children home earlier than normal. Parents will always be informed by telephone of this and no child will ever be sent home without prior notification. If parents themselves cannot be contacted then the emergency contact will be informed. It is therefore essential that every child has an emergency contact name and telephone number. If no one can be reached the child will be kept at school until contact is made.
We have created some activities to support you at home for the first day, until teachers can begin remote learning with their class. Some activities suggest being outdoors - but these should only be considered if it is deemed safe to do so.
