Dear Parents,

Refunds for school trip – Lockerbie Manor – 18th May

I wanted to update you on arrangements to refund you for your payments for the above school trip.  All payments will be refunded in full as soon as possible.  We are currently working with Renfrewshire Council to make these arrangements and I will update you again as soon as I am able to confirm the exact details.  I am sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Thank you for your patience and support in the meantime.

Staff Car park

Parents/Carers are  reminded that the car park is not for pick up/drop off.  This is for staff and visitors only.  Children are not allowed to walk through the car park in the morning or at the end of the school day.

Road Safety

We are focusing on two important issues that effect the health and safety of children at our schools Dangerous parking and Inconsiderate parking which cause congestion around schools and endangers the safety of children walking in, out or around school premises.

If you are dropping or collecting your child at school, please follow these guidelines:

· Do not park on ‘Keep Clear’ markings or yellow lines

· Do not park on zig-zag markings

· Be considerate and do not stop in the middle of the road

· Do not park on pavements or across dropped kerbs

Engine Idling

Keeping your engine running while you are waiting near the school creates toxic carbon monoxide fumes which are harmful to children’s health.  Also, it’s against the law and carries a fixed penalty.

The solution is simple—if you are waiting to collect your child at school, turn our engine off.

School Uniform

Parents are urged to comply with our school uniform policy and avoid purchasing trainers and sportswear with logos.

This has recently resulted in children being excluded from friendship groups due to clothing and footwear.

Playground

A large number of parents remain in the school playground at the end of the day, allowing their children to play.  There have been an increasing number of incidents where children are being hurt or involved in fighting.

Please note after 3pm parents are responsible for their children and are encouraged to leave the playground.

ROSC have a let of the school playground from 3.15—6pm.  You are kindly requested not to enter the playground at this time, unless, collecting your child from an After School Club.

No adults should approach children in the playground.

Allergies

Due to the number of children with severe allergies, we request that birthday cakes are not sent in to school on your child’s birthday.

Thank you for your support.
