School Is Back

Dear Parents/Carers

Our school will be open on Monday, 8 February.

After the recent Wooroloo bushfire, our school has been assessed and cleared as safe for students and staff to return.

We would like to thank you for your patience over this past week and we are looking forward to seeing your children on Monday 8th February.

During COVID-19 restrictions last year, we were continually amazed by the students’ tremendous independence and resilience. Whilst parents are permitted on site, we would like to encourage the ‘kiss and leave’ procedure that worked so well in the past. The numbers on site are restricted according to the government guidelines so if we work together and allow the parents of our youngest students that drop off priority, it would be most appreciated.

Please help us adhere to the current restrictions by following the information below:

Kindergarten Students Pre Primary Students Year 1 – 6 Students
Drop off time 8.45am – 9.00am

Outdoor activities will be set children to do with their parents from 8.45am

 

Teachers will collect students in small groups. Please indicate if you are a working parent and need to make a quick exit.

 

Kindy students can be picked up at the end of the day at 2.30pm (2.15pm Wednesday). Please notify administration if you would like to also pick up siblings at this time, as we can organise for them to meet you at the Kindy classroom.

Drop off time 8.15am-8.45am

 

Adult to accompany to the classroom

 

Kiss and leave if possible

 

Staff will be at the gates to help direct students

 

Drop off time 8.15am-8.45am

 

Please kiss and leave your child at the gates if you prefer- we encourage sibling support where possible

 

Staff will be at the gates to help direct students.

Parents are able to walk children to the classroom if they choose to.

 

PARKING

Year 1-6 – During this week only, there will be parking bays in front of the administration building to allow for drop off and pick up.

We encourage those older students to walk or ride to school to avoid congestion.

 

Kindergarten and Pre Primary

Parents can use the parking bays in Vidalia Drive, in addition to street parking.

We encourage those who can walk to school to avoid congestion.

 

Education Support

Parents can use the bus bay at the rear of the school off Tilgate Street.  This will act as a kiss and drive for parents.  Please do not park in the bus bay.  There is some street parking, but please obey the signage.

We encourage those who can walk to school to avoid congestion.

 

CANTEEN

Our canteen will be open from Monday 15th Feb (Week 3).

 

ON SITE

Parents and Carers who come on site are required to:

  • Wear a mask at all times
  • Practice physical distancing
  • Follow good hygiene practices

We are guided by the Department of Education Director General in our decision making for school arrangements.  Thank you for your cooperation.

We are really excited to see your children begin 2021 at Aveley North PS.  Our motto of ‘Together We Succeed’ has never been more meaningful.

 

Kind Regards

Helen Taylor
