School reopens on Monday 12th April after the Easter break .

A text message confirming your child is symptom free is required also . Parents/Guardians should've got a text about this- if not please text 087 6648800 with your name and mention you haven't received a text .

IF YOUR CHILD IS A CLOSE CONTACT OF COVID -19 IN SCHOOL

The HSE have published a You-tube video in which Dr Abigail Collins explains
what to do if a parent has been informed that their child is a close contact of COVID-19 in school. The
video can be downloaded at https://youtu.be/x2Vur9Dx4dk

CHILDREN WHO DO NOT RETURN TO SCHOOL

Some children will not return to school because they are in the Very High Risk category. Once this is
certified by a doctor, these children will be marked present on our roll and supported by distance
learning via online platform, as was the case last year.
Children who do not return to school due to COVID-19 related anxieties, will be marked absent and the
school has no obligation to support their learning via online platform, as was the case last year.

Well done to all the children who celebrated their first communion on Saturday 5th December .

A big thank you to Fr Richard for the lovely ceremony in difficult times and Amy for preparing all our first communicants !!

Uniforms

Please wear the same tracksuit as last year if it still fits !! If buying a new tracksuit please just get a cheap navy one in Tescos/Dunnes etc .. as we intend to change our school tracksuit when things settle down . Also we are more than happy for the moment for kids to wear the tracksuit all the time with runners . 

School Fees

The school fees for the year are €100 . There is an online facility to pay aswell .

Travel abroad

If you are considering travelling abroad please check recent HSE guidelines on foreign travel and implications for return to school .

We have had a number of enquiries about after school childcare / pick ups for infants . Just to let you know that we have a local childcare centre called Tippytoes situated less than 1km from the school , the brochure is located in the 'policies and documents' section on this website- Click on the policies and documents tab itself to bring you to the brochure  .

Some brilliant photos of the school ( and an amazing video ) taken by a drone from the Glenveagh company are on the homepage/news section - the visit was organised to inspire children in school to have a greater interest in the STEM subjects ( Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths )

Dear Parents/Guardians, we are still experiencing problems with traffic and parking in the school grounds . A letter was sent home with the pupils on traffic management around the school grounds . If you require further information please contact us .
