COVID Safe Check In

We have now installed posters with the COVID SAFE Check in QR Code at entrances and some other spots around the school. It is now required procedure for all adults who enter the site to check in on the phone app. 

If you wish to enter your child's classroom you will still need to sign in at the Front Office as well as scan the QR code.

Parking Around PPN

We are noticing some safety problems arising with cars parking around the school and we thought we would address them in this email. 

1. Parking out the front of the school- 
We are noticing a lot of parents parking in the front car park of the school, walking to the single gate and dropping off/picking up, only to return to the car minutes later and reversing out into traffic. We understand the convenience but parking here and reversing out is stopping the flow of traffic from the drive through zone. Children and parents crossing a busy road is a safety issue and concerns us as we have seen several near misses. We are asking that if you are walking your child onto our school grounds or collecting them in the afternoons, that you use the back car park or side streets.

2. Keeping the car park entrance clear
It is very important that you do not park and block the entrance to the back car park. If the drive through line is full, please wait with your left indicator flashing while on Nelson Road. When the line starts to move, then feel free to move into the drive through zone but please don't block the car park entrance.

3. Turning left only when entering and leaving car parks and drive through
In peak times, when families wait and try to turn right onto Wright Road from the drive through, it again, slows the whole drive through down- often to a complete stop. We are asking kindly that you turn left only out the drive through onto Wright Road.

Please do not turn right from Nelson Road into the car park. 

Please remember the current restrictions still in place (No adults entering classrooms unless you sign on in the Front Office). ALL adults walking onto the PPN Campus must sign in using the QR code at a gate. 

We hope to continue to develop the parking around the school so it runs as smoothly as possible. Thank you for your cooperation in helping us achieve this. If you have any questions, please reply to this email. 

Tip! If you come outside of peak times, it may save you a lot of frustration and is often quicker! 

Fruit Fly Update

The department of Primary Industries and Regions (PIRSA) has updated its information about fruit fly restrictions in South Australia.

This might change the types of fruit and vegetables your child can bring to school.

New colour coded maps for metropolitan Adelaide and Riverland residents show the red outbreak areas, yellow suspension areas, and green areas not affected by fruit fly.

Prescott Primary Northern is located in the yellow suspension area.

If you live in the red outbreak area:

Your child must not bring any fresh fruit or vegetables on this list to school. This applies even if it has been cut up.

Instead, PIRSA has provided a list of alternative fresh fruit and vegetable options suitable for lunch and breaks.

If you live in the yellow suspension area

Your child can bring any type of fresh fruit or vegetable to school.

If you live in the green not impacted area

Your child can bring any type of fresh fruit or vegetable to school.

All fruit or vegetables on this list must be eaten and disposed of at our school. These items cannot return home at the end of the day and will be disposed of safely at our school.

Grated, dried, frozen, cooked or pureed fruit and vegetables of any kind are acceptable in any area.

We appreciate your cooperation as we help protect South Australia from fruit fly.

PM Pick-Up Zone

Please ensure you have your child's name label visible in your car when picking up your child. This makes it a lot quicker to have your child ready for pickup. If you require a name tag, please call the Front Office.
