25 May 2020 Dear Leaving Certificate Student, As you are aware, a decision has been made to offer all Leaving Certificate students due to take examinations this summer a Calculated Grade in each of their subjects. All students are required to register in order that they have the opportunity to receive Calculated Grades at a later stage. Following registration students following the established Leaving Certificate or Leaving Certificate Vocational Programme are required to confirm the level at which they intended to sit each of their subjects. Students will have the option of confirming the level shown, which reflects what they personally selected in February, or to change to a lower level. It is essential that students confirm their levels at this time so that their schools can complete their task of providing an estimated percentage mark and rank order for each student. Later on, students will use the portal to opt to receive calculated grades, to access their calculated grades, and to access later stages of the process such as the appeals.Registration and confirmation of levels on the portal opens at 10 am on Tuesday 26 May and will close at 10 pm on Thursday 28 May. This is a tight timeframe, so you should gather the following information before attempting the registration process:  your Leaving Certificate examination number  your Personal Public Service Number (PPS number) as you will need this to create a Personal Identification Number  your email address  your telephone number. Leaving Certificate Applied students only need to register at this time. The portal will be available on www.gov.ie/leavingcertificate together with a Before you Start Guide which must read the before you commence the registration process, We have asked schools to assist students who do not know either their Examination number or their PPS number both of which are need to register on the portal. Before contacting your school, you should make every effort to access these numbers from your own records.

Westmeath, N37 X659 lcsupport2020@education.gov.ie. gov.ie/LeavingCertificate Students will also have an opportunity to sit all or some of the Leaving Certificate examinations at a date in the future when it is considered safe to hold the examinations. To support the system of Calculated Grades an online student portal has been developed for Leaving Certificate and Leaving Certificate Applied students. The portal will open at 10 am on Tuesday 26 May for registration. We have also asked schools to be ready to assist any students who do not have access to device or smartphone. There is helpdesk support available at 1800-111135 or 1800-111136. Due to COVID19 restrictions the helpdesk phonelines will be available from 12 pm to 5 pm on Tuesday 26th and between 9 am and 5 pm on Wednesday 27th and Thursday 28th. Outside of these hours you can email lcsupport2020@education.gov.ie. At a later date, students will be asked to confirm that they wish to receive Calculated Grades. This date will be communicated to you as soon as possible. You will find more details on gov.ie/Leaving Certificate.

We wish Glyn O’Connor (TYB) well tomorrow in his surgery in the Mater Private Hospital in Dublin following a farm accident yesterday. Glyn’s dad (Alan) asked that members of our school community light a candle for him as he undergoes surgery tomorrow. We are all thinking of Glyn and his brother Cillian (6D) and sister Celyn (3A).

I hope LC Students and Parents/Guardians are keeping well. We are now very close to the formal implementation of the Grades Calculation Process. There are 4 Key Points I would like to emphasise at this time !! 1/ LC students need to be prepared to use the Student Portal which you will be notified of from Tuesday. This is an opportunity for a student who has decided to change from HL to OL ( only) to formally change the level at which they want to be assessed! 2/ Training for teachers and management is being provided from Monday re the implementation of the Calculated Grades Process! 3/ A Guide for students and for Parents/ Guardians will also be issued in the coming days ! 4/ We are delighted to confirm that we are having a Virtual LC Graduation Ceremony on Thursday evening next , the 28th of May , at 7pm. We will provide further details on how you can access this Special Ceremony on that evening! Ní neart go cur le Chéile, Denis Ring

Please take the opportunity to help out at home and cherish this time with your family ,especially, those who may otherwise be living somewhere else due to work or study ! Thanks so much for all your patience, understanding and perseverance during these past weeks as we all were challenged to get to grips with how best to proceed.

Day 18 Total 301km Challenge 5 Total 963km Cumulative Total 6668km Great distance covered for a Monday when motivation might not be the greatest. We have reached the town of Chrzanów in Poland. Only a short hop now to Kraków which we should reach early tomorrow morning. Less than 2 full weeks to go in our overall challenge. It would be great to see more students and teacher join the 146 members we already have. Although students and teachers are busy with exams, it is still vital to get some exercise in every day. Every bit of exercise you do in a day adds up. Well done to our most active club members from last week too. Parent-John Campion (2 weeks in a row) Teacher-Patrick Cronin Male student-Jack Schurmann Female student-Abbie Roche Can we get some new members on the leaderboard for next week?
