Safety Update

Note to readers: This entry is meant for parents so please skip it when sharing the blog with you children.

There has been a growing parent concern about the safety of children on the ground floor. There is many doors (too many I think!) on our level. In October, we made some changes in to ensure safety during bathroom trips. During class time, the girls go in pairs or with an adult. We can see the boys entrance from our room, so that is reassuring. Also, the staff have voted to have the school locked down during class times -when it's not recess or lunch time etc. This would mean less doors (maybe only one) would be open to the public during class time. I'm not sure of the exact date that the locking will begin. There will be a school newsletter. In the meantime, the principal is your best resource for the time line. The school also is very big to our little ones, so our kindies are never sent on errands to the office or other areas. They may run into the room during recess to get something they forgot, but the halls are busy with other children at that time.

Thank you to all the parents who have come to me with concerns. I agree that we need to do all that we can to keep our precious children safe and without having them be anxious about safety.

Cheers,
