A thuistí, a chairde,
D'iarr mé ar fear an bhus coras nua a thosnú ar maidin cúpla seachtain ó shin. In ionad tiomaint isteach agus pairceáil laistigh d'iarr mé air stopadh ag geata na scoile chun na páistí a ligeant amach ansan. Tá sé ag cur bac le teacht agus imeacht na ngluaisteáin d'aon gnó ar feadh tuairim is 90 soicind. An cúis leis seo ná go raibh deacrachtaí ag an mbus casadh ar maidin de bharr páistí ag siúl taobh thiar den mbus. Tá sé intuigthe go stopfadh gach gluaisteáin eile idir teacht agus imeacht ón scoil don tréimhse gairid seo. Gabhaim pardún as aon moill a cuireann seo ar dhaoine ach is ar son sábháilteacht gach páiste atáimíd á dhéanamh. Ár mbuíochas as ucht bhur bhfoighne.
Dear parents,
I asked the bus driver to put a new system in place afew weeks ago. Instead of turning into the school and stopping on the yellow box I asked him to turn down the road, stop at the entrance (blocking it) and drop the children there. He will stay there until the children are safely on the path outside the school. Blocking the entrance is obviously intended to stop traffic entering and exiting the school for approximately 90 seconds while the children disembark. This system is in place as the bus was having difficulty reversing into the yellow box due to children walking behind the reversing bus. It is understood that all cars both coming to and leaving the school will stop to allow for this short delay. I apologise for any inconvenience caused by this short delay but it is for the safety of the children involved. Thank you for your patience.
