All Highland schools have a dial-in service if there is a risk of closure due to adverse weather. This allows parents to listen to a recorded message from the headteacher. 
When severe weather warnings are received the school will endeavour to keep the system updated.  It is an enhancement to the present service and does not replace existing methods of giving out information, such as radio broadcasts, described in the schools Adverse Weather Guidelines on the next page. 
Please note that this is an 0870 service and charges are slightly higher than normal.  Currently (Dec. 2001) BT rates are approximately 8p per minute peak and 5p per minute cheap rate.  However there is no queuing and an adverse weather call should last less than 1 minute.
 

How to use the service.                    

Dial Highland Council's access number  - 0870  054 6999

Now enter Rosebank Primary School’s pin number    04  2880

You have two attempts to enter the pin number and you will be disconnected after a second failed attempt. If this happens, check the number and redial.  If you still have a problem check with your school.

Please do not leave messages for the school as we currently have no means of accessing these.

Press 1 to hear your school's message about the adverse weather for example whether or not the school is to close or if transport arrangements have been affected.

Press 3 to hear general information messages

The school may use this as an additional way of informing parents about school events. Parents may hear up to ten messages with the most recent played first.

Press 4 to enter the pin number for another school within the authority.  Parents may have children who attend different schools. This option allows you to move from one school's messaging service to another without having to dial in again.
