The strike is part of a 'rolling programme of action', with further dates in other councils to be announced, after Unison rejected a pay offer.
Unison members taking industrial action on November 1 include administration staff, catering, janitorial, cleaning services and school crossing patrollers, across Inverclyde, East Renfrewshire, Renfrewshire and Glasgow.
The revised offer represents a minimum increase of £2,006 for workers on the Scottish local government living wage and a minimum of £1,929 for those above the rate.A letter from the executive director of education services at Glasgow City Council, Douglas Hutchison, said all nurseries and primary schools, and additional support learning schools, would close on November 1.
The letter said: "The strike involves a high percentage of our Education Services staff and will include support for learning workers, escorts, administration staff, catering, janitorial, cleaning services and school crossing patrollers. "We will continue to work on alternative arrangements right up to the date of the strikes and if there is any change based on individual risk assessments and suitable catering arrangements being available, I will contact individual schools."
