School Closure

It is extremely rare that OEA Education closes due to weather or other circumstances. Where possible we will modify the school day to adapt to the weather/situation. For example, we may:

• Limit lessons that take place off site travel requirements
• Arrange a later start or earlier finish to the day to provide more time for travel
• Discuss alternative arrangements for those students who travel a significant distance to reach the school

Whenever there is advance warning of possible disruption due to weather conditions, OEA Education will try to contact all parents/carers to highlight the fact.

In order to communicate all information during these times, OEA Education will:

• Make use of the text message service in Arbor to communicate with parents/carers
• Make use of the email service in Arbor to communicate with parents/carers
• Attempt to make phone contact with all parents/carers
• Place a message on the homepage of this website and on the Arbor Parent Portal
