Parking

Firstly I would like to thank you all

for your co-operation relating to

the parking this year. While we are

based in this current building this

issue is challenging. Therefore we

have to ask everyone to continue

to support us. Also a big thank

you to Celine Mc Loughlin and also

Maeve Mc Neill parents, who

helped us since weopened. As you are

aware with the

increase in numbers

in both schools this year the traffic

and parking situation has to be

managed to the best of our ability.

Parents or staff cannot park on the

drop off zone/drop off on the

roundabout.

Change of Morning

Routine

A current concern is the fact that

each morning we are delaying

parents leaving and this is causing

difficulties outside. With Health

and Safety in mind, fromtomorrow onwards (Wednesday)

the children will only sing outside

on Monday and Friday Mornings.

Tuesdays, Wednesdays and

Thursdays the

teachers will

bring the

children straight

in at 8:30.

Junior Infants

Starting next Monday all the

Junior Infants will start lining up

outside with their teachers. They

have settled in so well and the

staff are delighted with them!

They have practiced at the end of 

the day and familiar with the

process.

Family Day/Peace Day

We will be giving you information

regarding our Family Day/ Peace

Day very soon and the Parents

Group will be having a meeting to

get started arranging the Day next

Monday morning in the Parent’s

Room after drop off. If you can

help please fill out the slip below

and drop it into the RED BOX by

the door. Last year we had the

Peace Day and the theme was

'One Goal One Aim'. This tied in

with Amnesty International where

Sport was used all over the world

to bring people together on a

particular day. We are looking at

having a Parent Five a Side Soccer

Blitz and also some races for the

children. We are also looking at

having a BBQ. It is a fun day

where people have an opportunity

to meet outside of school. Thedate we are looking at is the last

Saturday in September (24th

) from

2-5pm.

In preparation for this we would

ask that you send in a white T-

shirt with your child

that will fit over

their clothes as they

will be paintingthem in class to wear on the

Family Day
