Dollar Academy is always open, whatever the weather. There will always be boarders and Dollar residents who are able to attend school.
The school does not issue advice about travelling in bad weather. It is important that families reach their own conclusions on this matter, in the light of individual circumstances and local conditions. The school, however, must be notified of absences in accordance with the usual procedures.
If it is decided by parents that children should leave school early on account of weather conditions, the pupils must sign out at the school office before they leave.
If pupils have to miss a prelim because of bad weather, the school will ensure that appropriate arrangements are made for them to sit an exam at another time. |
