Education Learning & Leisure Linda Evans Rector Inverurie Academy Jackson Street Inverurie AB51 3PX Tel. 01467 621655 Fax 01467 624425 inverurie.aca@aberdeenshire.gov.uk November 2013 Dear Parent/Carer Your son/daughter is classified as an ‘out-of-zone’ pupil here at Inverurie Academy. It is important, as part of our adverse weather procedures, that we know exact travel arrangements for all pupils who are ‘out-of’zone’. I am therefore writing to ask you to complete the attached form to provide us with details of your son’s/daughter’s transport arrangements to and from school, for both everyday travel and in case of emergency school closure. In an emergency closure out-of-zone pupils are called to an assembly point where they must stay until we are sure that their personal arrangements are in place. It is vital for us to keep track of everyone involved evacuating the school on such occasions, and so your son/daughter will be told that they must sign out before leaving the school. We would be very grateful if you could remind them about this too, and perhaps check that they have done so if you are the person picking them up. Thank you for your assistance in providing the detailed information we need to ensure the safety of your son/daughter in case of an emergency school closure. Should you have any questions about this process, please do not hesitate to contact either your son’s/daughter’s Guidance teacher, or Mrs Morrell, the Support Service Co-ordinator, here at the Academy. I would be grateful if you could complete and return the attached form and return it to the school office by Friday 15 November.
