the
measures in place to keep the
whole school community as safe as
possible .

October Midterm Break

Level 5 : Parental / Guardian Communication

The next 6 weeks will be challenging for all of us and it is difficult to ask young people to stay in . We are asking for your support on this . We are working tirelessly daily to keep COVID 19 out of our schools .
Please support that by ensuring your son / daughter does not socialise or congregate in groups , or meet in each other ’ s houses during the week or weekends .
We cannot emphasise enough how potentially damaging that could be for our schools ’ communities . It is only by working together at home and at school that we can keep one another safe .
Thank you to Miss Ní Dhomhnaill and her family for the show stopping pumpkins for our reception at Halloween
Parent - Teacher Meetings
Most of our calendar events have happened or will happen online . As we cannot hold Parent / Teacher meetings in person we are issuing a detailed report through VS Ware for each year group in the next term .
Please feel free to contact
the school if there are issues
you
wish
to
discuss
regarding
your
child ’ s
progress .
