Transport Arrangements

| 0 comments

Please see the letter below from Mrs Rowe detailing transport drop off / pick up arrangements at the school grounds.  We understand some of you are still awaiting confirmation of buses / taxis etc and this will be done directly from the transport department rather than the school.  Thank you for your continued patience over this matter.

 

Dear Transport provider or Parent/Carer 

Firstly, thank you for your ongoing commitment to the children and young people of Glencryan School. The consistent people driving and escorting our children to and from school has such a positive impact on so many children.

As we return to school there has been the opportunity to reflect on our practice and plan for our return. There will have been hygiene procedures shared with you from North Lanarkshire Council in terms of your responsibilities collecting children from their home and traveling with children. When you arrive at Glencryan School, please can you help us to keep everyone as safe as possible by following these updates to practice:

1: A reminder that in the school grounds the speed limit is 5mph. The car park is unusually designed and with our increasing school roll there are more vehicles coming and going. Please be patient and considerate of one another.

2: The car park will have three zoned areas which will be highlighted with external signage.

Zone 1 (yellow) – Bus parking area

Zone 2 (blue) – Parent/Carer parking area

Zone 3 (red) – Taxi parking area

3: All pupils will leave enter and leave the school through a designated door

Door 1 (yellow) – entrance/exit for Primary pupils transported by bus and parent/carer

Door 2 (blue) – entrance/exit for Secondary/LSU pupils transported by bus and parent/carer

Door 3 (red) – entrance/exit for all pupils transported by taxi

4: Please aim to be at school as close to 9am as possible and no earlier than 8:50am. With updated hygiene and physical distancing procedures linked to COVID-19 recovery, children and those escorting them will be asked to stay in their cars until a member of staff collects the child. Staff will be wearing hi-vis tops so that they are easily identifiable. Only adults working in the school will be able to come into school unless there has been a specific arrangement.

5: Please do not come into the school grounds until either 2:50pm (Primary) or 3.20pm (Secondary) at the earliest unless there has been a specific arrangement. Vehicles arriving can be a signifier for our children that it is time to go home and can interrupt precious learning time.

6: I have attached below a plan of the school with the zones and doors marked.

As pupils and staff will be walking around areas and zones of the car park, the health and safety of everyone is vital. Please be very cautious and vigilant to ensure the safety of everyone.

If you have any questions regarding these points, please contact the school.

Yours sincerely,

Laura Rowe 

Head Teacher

Glencryan School
