THE START OF THE SCHOOL DAY
If you are bringing your child/ren to school…
• Only students are to enter the school grounds
• All children are to be dropped off at the school gates.
• Please stay in your car if you are driving and observe social distancing if you are walking children to and from school
• As usual, staff will be ready at the gates to greet students at 8:25am, when the gates open (students should not be at school before this time).
• There will be no morning play and students will enter their classroom once the 8:30am bell rings.
• Formal learning will begin at 8:40 am.
DISMISSAL AT THE END OF THE DAY
Reception and Year 1 students will be dismissed at 2:50 pm.
• Reception classes and R/1 will gather outside the gym and parents may enter this space for a handover of children.
• Year 1AF will gather at the back gate at this time and Year 1RM at the front gate.
• Teachers will monitor their children until they are all collected.
Years 2-6 will be dismissed at 3 pm.
• Students will make their way to either the front or back gates.
After school care
• All students will move to their collection points at 3 pm.
• Reception and Year 1 students are to remain with their class teacher until this time.
• Before and after school care continue to be open at both Blackfriars and for those eligible families at Prospect PS.
We understand that some families will continue to keep their children at home, we are committed to continued support for these students.
Please email your child’s teacher, if you are going to keep your child at home and they will communicate with you about the organisation of your child’s learning.
As teachers are not allowed to video conference with individual students, this will not occur from next week.
Stay safe, Damian Weeks
