Students, families and visitors’ safety and wellbeing are important to us.
Please take note of the following:
Teaching and Learning Time
Student contact hours are from 8:45am-2:45pm daily. Your cooperation in keeping all classroom interruptions to a minimum is appreciated. If you need to hold a discussion with classroom staff, please make an appointment. You can contact the Front Office info@cranleighps.act.edu.au or 61420444.
From time to time, we understand that you may need to collect your student early. We ask, if possible, a message either be sent in the communication book, or an email to teacher/front office or a phone call to the front office. This will ensure that your student is ready close by and not playing on the playground. Your cooperation is appreciated.
Student Absences
If your child is going to be absent from school, it is the parent/carer’s responsibility to notify Cranleigh through the Parent Portal, or email info@cranleighps.act.edu.au or by phone 6142 0444 as soon as possible. If you know in advance of any impending absences, you can write the dates in your child’s communication book or email the info@cranleighps.act.edu.au or record it in the Parent Portal. If you don’t notify us of your child’s absence by 9.30am you will automatically receive an absent notification via our SAS system.
Communication Books
Our staff often use these books to share important updates, reminders, and little insights into your child’s day. We’re encouraging teachers to use the communication books regularly instead of phone calls during the day, unless it’s something urgent. By checking and responding in the communication book, we can keep the lines of communication strong between home and school.
Sign In/Out
If you are visiting the school, please ensure you sign in at the Front Office and wear a visitor’s badge for easy identification. Be sure to sign out and return the badge when leaving. Likewise, if you are collecting your child early, please sign them out.
Parking
When driving through the school car park, note the speed limit is 10kph. As parking is limited for parents/carers and visitors, we ask that you park in front of the school on Starke Street, or on Blackham Street. At peak times including when buses are at the front of the school for morning and afternoon pickups we strongly encourage to not use the main driveway.
Keeping Students Safe
During core school hours all external doors are kept locked. To keep our students safe and ensure they remain where they can be supervised, please ensure all doors are fully closed before you walk away. Entry and exit during this time is via the main front doors.
Allergy Friendly Policy
Cranleigh School is an Allergy Friendly School. We have a number of students attending our school with severe allergies to nuts. We request that students do not bring nuts or food containing nuts to school.
SunSmart School
As per SunSmart school policy hats are worn when outdoors till May, and from August. Please send a hat (clearly labelled with student’s name) for your child to wear on the playground. Every effort will be made to support wearing of hats. We operate an indoor play policy on extreme weather days.
We ask families to apply sunscreen before school. If you wish this to be reapplied during the day, we require written permission. Families are asked to supply sunscreen suitable for your child, and have it clearly labelled.
