JRSO More Parking Issues
The other day we posted about parking issues within the school grounds, however we have received complaints and concerns from several residents about inconsiderate parking in the streets around the school.
Please do not: park on the zig-zag lines; on grass verges, block runways, park on the corner or move cones.
We are also worried that children cannot see leaving the school gates because of parked cars.
Please park sensibly, carefully and considerately.

Parking
The JRSO have noticed several problems in the car park again.
Please remember the parking area closest to the school is for staff and blue badge holders only.
The area next to the garden is for drop off only.
The roundabout should never be used to park on!
Please help us by following these simple parking rules and keep children safe. Also, pass this information on to whoever brings/picks up your child from ECC and school.

Missing Jacket
A pupil in Base 4 has lost a Navy Michael Kors jacket. Could we check all similar jackets at home please.
Thank you.
Can you help…?
Primary 7 children will be walking to The Galleon every Tuesday morning for six weeks (excluding October holiday) starting Tuesday 26th September. Would you be able to assist with this walk? They will be leaving Gargieston at 8.50am and leaving The Galleon at approximately 10.55am. If you can help for even one of these weeks, please contact Mrs Lawson or simply leave a message with the office.
Many thanks.
Primary 7 – Kilmarnock During WW2 Bus Tour
Primary 7 finished their first section of WW2 with a bus tour of Kilmarnock! They drove along Dundonald Road where the railings were cut down for melting into ammunition. They continued up John Finnie Street imagining the cars collecting evacuees from the railway station. After passing The Grand Hall (used for Italian prisoners of war) they made their way to Culzean Crescent where 4 people were killed in an air raid – the only one to ever hit Kilmarnock. They looked at the memorial bench for these four civilians killed that night in May 1941. Finally, after a visit to The Dick Institute to look at old Kilmarnock photographs, they crossed the road to the war memorial.
Stephanie Kerr’s dad had told her where to look for her relative’s name.
An interesting and thought-provoking afternoon out.
