Hello everyone.
I hope you are all well.
Traffic lights just outside the campus
We have no update about when these will go live. If you and/or your children need to turn left after walking out the gate, best to cross at the pedestrian crossing inside the gate. I know this means there is two-way pedestrian traffic on the path but that is better than crossing the road without a safe place to do that.
Reminders for parents on the campus
Some parents in the junior end of the school have reported difficulties finding a place to drop off their children as other cars are parked for the full 10 minutes of junior school drop-off.
If you do bring your car onto the campus at this time, please use the spot for the minimum time needed to get your child(ren) safely to school. Those with children in both junior and senior end of the school should not park and wait. Arriving after 8.30 means that both sets of children can be sent in during a short period of time. We know it's hard to judge the timing, especially if you are travelling a distance. If you arrive to the area early, I suggest that find a spot off campus to wait.
We have seen a little complacency with parents standing to chat with one another on the campus. We know that everyone is missing social interaction but we must stay focused. Please don't stand for a chat between parents on the campus. You can walk and talk, appropriately distanced, or share phone numbers so that you can chat over the phone.
When children see adults following the procedures and being cautious, that sends them a clear and strong message and makes it easier for them to follow guidelines also.
What's going on?
I hope you are all well.
