It is going to be a very busy term with lots of excursions, celebrations and learning. Please keep an eye on the calendar and messages on Skoolbag.
This term staff also start preparing for 2020 through assessment, reporting and creating the new classes for next year. As mentioned in previous newsletters, can you please advise the front office via email if your child/ren are not coming back to Curtin.
You will find attached a copy of our school’s class placement procedures. Please read this carefully. If you have any concerns about class placement for your child/ren please email maryanne.hayes@ed.act.edu.au by Friday 25 October 2019. Emails after this date may not be considered.
Please read all correspondence regarding our new fence and the times the gates will be opened and closed during the day.
Access gates to the playgrounds will be open from 8am to 9.30am and from 2.30pm to 3.30pm each day. Outside of these hours the gates will be locked and access to the school will be through the front office only. The back carpark will remain locked throughout the day.
A follow up parking plan ie. pick up/drop off will be sent out at a later date.
When dropping your child/ren at school and picking them up in the afternoon please be mindful of other cars in the front carpark. Please remember that the drop off zone is not for parking your car. In the afternoons your child/ren should be waiting for you and go straight to the car so we can keep the traffic flowing. Please remember to not double park or stop in the middle of the carpark as it is not only dangerous for students who decide to run between the other cars, but it also slows down the flow of traffic. Please do not park in sign posted carparks.
Students should not be waiting for pickup by playing unsupervised in the junior playground. They should be waiting near the front office so when you arrive you don’t have to search for them. This also ensures all students safety as we do not have staff on duty after school.
Families are still able to play in the junior playground after school. Exit from this area after 3:30pm will be via the front gates as all other gates will be locked.
The students have all come back eager to learn and we look forward to a busy term.
Thanks
Maryanne
