Drop Off & Dismissal Process and Protocols 2

Drop Off/Dismissal

Drop off and Pick -Ups Times

Mornings:

The Bank Street Gate (Park Street will not be available) will open between 8.35am and 8.50am. Students will go straight to their classrooms.

We respectfully request that parents remain outside the school grounds in the mornings. This is due to current COVID -19 protocols. 

If you need to speak to a staff member, we encourage you to email/Dojo you child's teacher or call the office so we can arrange an appointment time.

Afternoons: 

Students will line up on inside the grounds with their teacher. The gate will open at 3.25pm for parents to walk in, collect their child/ren and move in a clockwise position around the back of the class lines and out the gate.

Please ensure you wear a mask and maintain a distance of 1.5m. from others while collecting students at the end of the day. We ask that you move as quicky as you can on the school yard and refrain from talking to others during this time. 

Galilee Wet Weather Student Collection

In the event of wet weather at the end of a school day, the following procedures will be used to ensure a safe collection of students:

• Parents/Carers to collect students from their classrooms from 3:15-3:25pm
• All Parents/Carers to enter via the school office door
• All Parents/Carers to exit via the nearest side/external stairwell after collecting child/ren
• Parents/Carers with prams or limited mobility can request the office to ring for their child/ren
• Children attending GOSH, walking or riding home by themselves will be dismissed from their classroom at 3:25pm

Additional information:

• Staff members will be supervising those entering the building and exiting via the front gate and in the corridors
• Parents/Carers are expected to move safely and efficiently, walking throughout the school
• Parents/Carers are only allowed on site for up to 10 minutes (COVID-19 restrictions) so collection is not an opportunity to converse with teachers, staff or other parents
• In the event of a wet weather collection, parents/carers will be notified when possible via DOJO by 3pm (unless it rains after 3pm)
• Please see below a map of the school for the collection of children

We thank everyone for their flexibility and cooperation in ensuring that pick-up is safe and efficient for all in dealing with COVID-19 restrictions.
