SCHOOL INFORMATION LINE

Aberdeen City schools provide a telephone information service for parents/guardians.  This is the Schools Information Line.

The main features of this service are:

1.      Emergency Arrangements Message for Parents/Guardians

To be used to inform parents/guardians of emergency arrangements and important announcements, e.g. early closure arising from adverse weather conditions/failure of heating system.

2.      Voicemail for Recording Non-urgent Messages from Parents/Guardians

The system also has the potential to record brief messages of a routine nature from parents/guardians.  You will be advised at a later date if this feature is to be activated.
