Dear Parents/carers,

Good afternoon! Following discussions with some of our parents/carers of pupils in Primary 1 and 2, I am writing to ask parents/carers of these classes to move slightly from where they currently collect their children. It has been pointed out that the area at the bike shelter can be quite congested at 3pm when older pupils are coming to collect their bikes from the shelter. To ensure we make this area as safe as possible I am asking those collecting P1 pupils to move away from this area and to be at the ECC side of the marked out area. Miss Sloan will direct the pupils to you there as you wait to collect them from the class.   Those collecting P2 pupils, when they return next week, are to stand at the opposite side of the area, away from the bike shelter, on the side closest to the main entrance. Mrs Murray will direct the pupils to you there as you wait to collect them from the class.

I am once again encouraging parents/ carers of other classes, Primary 3 – 7, to remain outside the school playground. This is in the interests of social distancing. There may be some limited number of parents/carers of pupils in these classes who are required to be in the playground, to escort their children to and from class. This is done by prior arrangement with the school and is to support pupils with specific individual needs which are not known to the wider school community. Please ensure we are supportive of these pupils and their parents/carers. They would love nothing more than to be able to allow their children to come and go within the playground, but this is not possible at this time.

Once again I would like to thank you in anticipation of your support in these matters.

Kindest regards,

 

Simon Leitch

Head Teacher.
