Going Home

Children should, as a rule, follow the same home time routine each day.

If there is any necessary change in this routine please send a note in to the teacher on that morning.

Telephone messages about changes should only be used in emergencies.

Many of the telephone messages we receive relate to information that children already know about.

Also it is very easy for a telephone message not to get passed on for many reasons.
Buses
The Transport Section of the SELB manages yellow buses to the school.

Our area officer is Mr John Doogan who is based at Board Headquarters.

Applications to use SELB buses should be sent to the Transport Section at Board Headquarters.

Other services are provided through Ulsterbus, Dungannon.

We talk to children often about the need for good, responsible behaviour on buses.

Please remind them about this at home.

Safety awareness on buses is very important.

Teachers put pupils on to buses each afternoon.

Children are seated when they leave school.

Please remind your child regularly that he or she should stay in their seat until they reach their stop.

Children should be on their best behaviour on the bus each day.

Causing disruption and attracting the driver's attention can lead to serious accidents.

Disruptive and dangerous behaviour should be reported to the bus authorities.

The vast majority of children behave very well on buses.

The behaviour of all should be as good as the best.
We all also need to talk to our 'walkers' about safety.

Children need to be reminded often to stay on the footpath and to go directly home after school..

If there is any unusual delay in your child arriving home please contact us immediately

We are conscious with the approach of winter each year of children standing at roadsides waiting for buses.

We remind them often to be very careful. Our uniform is dark from head to toe.

Children should have something like a reflective and bright strip attached to their school bag or coat at these times.

It is essential that drivers easily see them on dark mornings.

In winter we need to be equally aware in the late afternoons.

This applies not only to our bus children but also to our walkers as well.

We take every opportunity we can to highlight safety issues.
