Dear Parent,
I want to issue you with a reminder about safety through the car park and school grounds. An accident only takes a moment to occur and the consequences could be very significant within a school. Please slow down. This is a message for us all, including myself.
In spite of previous reminders, cars are still parked in the wrong place. Please do not park on the bus lanes. This is blocking the drivers’ views and makes it very difficult for the buses to park. Please park in a parking space; if the parking spaces are full, please wait until a space becomes available. I understand this is frustrating but this needs to be implemented for safety. Then walk your child over to the classroom assistants who are chaperoning. For older children, a drop off at the main door is acceptable and the child will again be chaperoned/directed by the classroom assistant. A few extra minutes is worth it to avoid an accident.
The afternoon parking is also causing some difficulty. When you collect your child from the designated classroom door, please hold your child/children’s hand until you have safely reached your car. I have had complaints, that on occasion, children are running unsupervised in front of vehicles.
There is an arrangement with identified families about specific parking spaces due to their children’s needs.
Apart from these known situations, I ask you to support me for the safety of the children, parents, grandparents and staff.
My Very Best Wishes to You All,
Ms. O’Neill.
