Morning drop off will remain as it was, as this worked well.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>From Monday all parents in P1, P1\/2, P2 and P3, should enter the school at the softplay gate\u00a0<strong>at the end of the day<\/strong>\u00a0and walk around to the playground.\u00a0 Please see the pictures below outlining where you should stand to collect your child. Whilst you wait for your child&#8217;s class to come out, please position yourselves around the perimeter of the playground so that the upper children can exit the playground safely.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/ea\/newcumnockprimaryschoolea\/2022\/08\/21\/update-regarding-entrance-and-exit-points\/image1-5-2\/\" rel=\"attachment

children from P3\/4 upwards will be released first on the bell.\u00a0 This will allow older children\u00a0to exit the playground safely before parents start to move,\u00a0and will reduce the
