During a period of
heavy snow, where conditions in the early morning might prevent school from
opening for the day, parents are asked to listen to either BBC Radio
Highland or Moray Firth Radio, where an announcement would be
made.
There is also a
telephone information service available which allows parents to listen
to a recorded message from the Head Teacher. To use this service dial
Highland Council's access number:
0870 054 6999
and then enter the school's pin number:
04 2190
You will now hear the school's
name. Ensure that it is correct before going on. You
will then be taken to the MAIN MENU where you will be given 4 options:
Press 1 to hear your
school's message about the adverse weather
for example whether or not the school is to close or if transport
arrangements have been affected.
Press 4 to enter the
pin number for another school within the authority.
Parents may have
children who attend different schools. This option allows you to move from
one school's messaging service to another without having to dial in again.
Tain Royal Academy pin number is 04 1220
Early Closure
In
the event of adverse weather conditions, eg. heavy snow, it may be necessary
to close the school early. To save the school having to contact each
parent, arrangements have been made for a parent in your area to contact
you. If parents are unavailable, children will be sent home with another
pupil, where their parents are known to be at home.
