The news and online is full of Storm Lorenzo. As with all weather events, schools will follow the instruction of the National Emergency Co-ordination Group and of our local emergency services. In the event of a Red Warning issued for Co. Wexford, the school will automatically close. In a red warning situation the bus service will not be in operation.
Should there be a yellow or orange warning the school would generally remain open to receive pupils. We would ask that parents and guardians use their best judgement regarding driving to school. Being a rural area we cannot know the condition of all of the approach roads. Please do not travel if you do not feel that it is safe to do so.
In the event of severe weather over the winter months, the school will communicate by text-a-parent, email, website and social media.
Unfortunately, during one of the storms two years ago all internet access was lost. In this event the school will try to relay information locally by text.
Here’s hoping Lorenzo is a damp squib.
