Snow Day and School Closure Information
At Laurance Haines we will always endeavour to keep the school open, however on occasion, severe weather may mean that it is unsafe for children and staff to get in to school.
In order to ensure you are informed as quickly as possible of anything that may have an impact on a normal school day, we will be using a system called Everbridge. To sign up, please visit Everbridge and click on the “sign up” button located at the top right hand side of the page on the grey strip, and from there follow the instructions. It should take no more than five minutes to register and you can edit your information at any time should you change your mobile number or email address.
If possible, we will also message parents via the School Gateway app which is free to download from your app store.
With this in mind, if you think the school may be closed due to severe weather conditions, please follow the guidance below:
- Check the link on Hertfordshire County Council's website
- Listen to local radio BOB FM 106.7 & 106.9
- Check twitter feeds @HeadLHS and @LHS_Watford
- Check the LHS Facebook page
If we are still open:
- Please walk to school if it is safe and practical to do so.
- If you have to drive, please drive safely and park away from the school to avoid congestion, taking care not to obstruct driveways.
- Volunteer to help clear snow from the playground (bring a shovel!).
If we are closed:
- Stay safe and have fun.
- Keep checking our social media for regular updates.
- Volunteer to help clear snow from the playground to help get the school open.
