I have two children with additional needs who went back to school this week.
Staggered drop of time’s means one goes in at 8.30 and the other 9am. I know there is a reason for this of course but the letter with dates on and a senco informed me that if you had two at different times you can send them both in at the earliest time (so 8.30am) to make life easier and that you don’t have to hang around.
But the teacher has said no I have to wait half an hour. Doesn’t seem too much of a problem but.. We live a few minute walk away from the school but Dd has a mild physical disability and walking home would be a faff. Also there’s only 2 main routes from the school which are narrow pathways and we would be passing other children walking to school which goes against social distancing rules. So we could hang around outside the school but again that goes against social distancing too. Not comfortable with standing near the road. You’ll have people going to the local nursery in the area and children and their allocated slots.
It would be so much easier if Dd went in at 8.30 when ks2 go in. She wouldn’t mind going in early. She has 1-1 anyway and the letter sent home did state she could but now she can’t.
Parents are discouraged from driving to school as they have a very small car park and spaces are reserved for teachers and those who don’t live in the village and drive to school but aibu to think bugger it. I’ll drive and sit in the car with her iPad for half an hour!!
Don’t want to be hanging around outside with loads of people around!
