IMPORTANT MESSAGE.
Parklands and Harrington remained open today as usual, despite the cold and snowy conditions. However, the temperature has to be lower tomorrow (-1 at 9:00) and also on Thursday (-2 at 9:00).
Our aim is for school to stay open as long as it is safe to do so but we do have concerns that the ground is very wet from the melted snow and this could freeze overnight and create some difficult access conditions.
Mrs Callaghan and I have directed for a grounds check to be completed in the morning at 7:00a.m. to check that it remains safe to access the schools. The decision will be made jointly from both schools and shared with you as soon as we can in the morning.
Again, I will reiterate that it is our aim to remain open, if we are able to.
