Recently, concerns have been raised about cars parking on or near the yellow zig-zag lines outside the school gates, particularly at drop-off and pick-up times.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Although new road markings have been put in place to improve safety, the yellow zig-zag lines are still being used as parking spots by some drivers. These markings are there for a very important reason \u2013 they help keep entrances clear, improve visibility, and reduce the risk of accidents for our children and families as they arrive at and leave school.<\/p>\n<h3>A Message from Our Junior Road Safety Officers (JRSOs)<\/h3>\n<p>Our Junior Road Safety Officers (JRSOs) have been thinking carefully about how we can work together as a community to make our school environment safer for everyone. They have created posters and letters to kindly remind adults about the importance of parking responsibly and putting children\u2019s safety first.<\/p>\n<p>The JRSOs are <strong>asking for the help and cooperation of all adults in the community around our school<\/strong>. They understand that school pick-up and drop-off times can be busy, but small changes in behaviour can make a big difference to everyone\u2019s safety.<\/p>\n<h3>How You Can Help<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\ud83d\ude97 Please <strong>do not park on yellow zig-zag lines<\/strong> at any time<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc40 Be mindful of visibility for children crossing the road<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udeb6\u200d\u2640\ufe0f Consider parking a little further away and walking the last short distance<\/li>\n<li>\ud83e\udd1d Help us model safe and responsible choices for our children<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By working together, we can ensure that all children feel safe travelling to and from school and that our school surroundings remain welcoming and safe for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for taking the time to read this and for continuing to support our school community. Your cooperation and understanding are truly appreciated.<\/p>\n<p><em>Together, we can make a positive difference.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"11870\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/calderwood\/2026\/04\/22\/parking-safely-around-our-school-a-request-from-our-jrsos\/pxl_20260417_093927617\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/calderwood\/uploads\/sites\/6714\/2026\/04\/22101732\/PXL_20260417_093927617.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"949,1260\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.68&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Pixel 9&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1776422367&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;6.9&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;132&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.014284&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"PXL_20260417_093927617\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/calderwood\/uploads\/sites\/6714\/2026\/04\/22101732\/PXL_20260417_093927617-226x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/calderwood\/uploads\/sites\/6714\/2026\/04\/22101732\/PXL_20260417_093927617-771x1024.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-11870\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/calderwood\/uploads\/sites\/6714\/2026\/04\/22101732\/PXL_20260417_093927617-226x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"226\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/calderwood\/uploads\/sites\/6714\/2026\/04\/22101732\/PXL_20260417_093927617-226x300.jpg 226w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/calderwood\/uploads\/sites\/6714\/2026\/04\/22101732\/PXL_20260417_093927617-771x1024.jpg 771w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/calderwood\/uploads\/sites\/6714\/2026\/04\/22101732\/PXL_20260417_093927617-768x1020.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/calderwood\/uploads\/sites\/6714\/2026\/04\/22101732\/PXL_20260417_093927617.jpg 949w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 226px) 100vw, 226px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"11871\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/calderwood\/2026\/04\/22\/parking-safely-around-our-school-a-request-from-our-jrsos\/pxl_20260417_093938638\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/calderwood\/uploads\/sites\/6714\/2026\/04\/22101736\/PXL_20260417_093938638.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"949,1260\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.68&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Pixel 9&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1776422378&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;6.9&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;86&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.021004&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"PXL_20260417_093938638\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/calderwood\/uploads\/sites\/6714\/2026\/04\/22101736\/PXL_20260417_093938638-226x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/calderwood\/uploads\/sites\/6714\/2026\/04\/22101736\/PXL_20260417_093938638-771x1024.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-11871\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/calderwood\/uploads\/sites\/6714\/2026\/04\/22101736\/PXL_20260417_093938638-226x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"226\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/calderwood\/uploads\/sites\/6714\/2026\/04\/22101736\/PXL_20260417_093938638-226x300.jpg 226w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/calderwood\/uploads\/sites\/6714\/2026\/04\/22101736\/PXL_20260417_093938638-771x1024.jpg 771w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/calderwood\/uploads\/sites\/6714\/2026\/04\/22101736\/PXL_20260417_093938638-768x1020.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/calderwood\/uploads\/sites\/6714\/2026\/04\/22101736\/PXL_20260417_093938638.jpg 949w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 226px) 100vw, 226px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At Calderwood Primary &amp; Nursery, the safety of our children is always our top priority.
