Extreme Weather Arrangements - Schools

7th January 2010

 

All West Dunbartonshire schools and nurseries are open as normal. Because of the extreme shortage of grit at this time, pupils, staff and parents should be aware that footpaths, car parks and playgrounds may be icy and are asked to take care in these areas. In order to avoid congestion at school gates. parents are asked not to drop their children within the school premises or at the gates but instead to drop them at a safe point some distance from the school.

 

 Advice for pedestrians

 

During icy or snowy weather, you should:

  • wear sensible footwear;

  • don’t go out unless you need to;

  • wrap up warmly, and

  • take care all of the time
