Dear Parents/Guardians/Students, I hope everyone is keeping well and continuing to follow the advice we have been given regarding staying home, social distancing and washing hands. 3rd and 6th year mock reports are now available through VsWare. I know these are difficult times for exam students and in some cases the corrected papers may not have been seen by your teachers as they hadn't come back to the school before the closure. There could be reasons why marks are different to what you hoped for, such as questions missed out, timing issues etc. Remember that mock tests are designed to give you a sense of what the exam will be like. You will not have been as well prepared in February when you sat these as you will be in June. The revision you have done and are continuing to do will ensure that you do even better in the final exams. Take good care everyone. J Leonard

Good afternoon everybody, I hope you are keeping well and safe. Some of the notifications that go out on the school app are targeted to specific year groups. In order that you receive these it is important that you have selected the correct year for your son/daughter in your profile - when you open the app, click the 3 lines at the top left and click on the name that is top of that list to check details. If you make any changes be sure to click Save before leaving that page. All app notifications can be read by everyone that has the app (and by everyone on cpckilcullen.com under the News section) but you might not receive a push notification if you have selected the wrong year group for your son/daughter. For example, this week I have been in touch with 4th year parents and students to guide them in selecting subject preferences for 5th year. This is continuing through VsWare and all details and instructions were posted through the app. If you missed any of this please go back through the News & Notifications on the app from the last week. The deadline for this process is Monday 6th April. Please find attached to this notification application form and contract for those interested in Leaving Certificate Applied (For further details on this contact sabrinamills@cpckilcullen.com). Ms Mills has offered to arrange video meetings for any parents/students seeking further information on LCA (make contact through Ms Mills' email above). For 6th years, you might find this link useful: jigsawonline.ie/young-people/leaving-certificate-in-the-time-of-covid-19/ It is possibly the best piece of advice I have seen. I know it is such an uncertain time for you in particular. Ms Harney has asked me to draw all parent's attention to this important announcement: Primary and Post-Primary School Transport Scheme Applications: It should be noted that in regard to the Primary and Post-Primary School Transport Schemes, applications for School Transport for the 2020/2021 school year are currently open and can be accessed online at www.buseireann.ie/schooltransport . . The closing date for applications is Friday 24th April 2020. I want to once again thank the whole school community - students, parents and staff for your support and engagement in this extraordinary situation we are all in. The messages of support from parents have been so appreciated. I know that the staff of Cross and Passion College are working extremely hard in difficult personal and professional circumstances to ensure that we support our students in the best way possible. As we move towards the Easter holidays it is important that everyone takes a break to ensure that we tend to our own wellbeing and health and that of our families. Students would have been preparing to engage in a period of revision and rest over this period and that should continue. In the event of an extended school closure it is important that we are all refreshed and prepared for that eventuality. In the meantime I will of course keep you updated with any developments as soon as I hear them. I wish you continued good health and safety, stay home, wash your hands, save lives and support our frontline services in the amazing work they are doing. J Leonard

Archived : 31 May 2020, 12:00 AM
Dear Parents/Guardians/Students, thank you to those who have entered their subject preferences since my notification yesterday. Can I remind everybody that you must select a subject in each of the drop down menus in all 7 spaces in VsWare. This is essential to ensure that you don't end up with a subject that you definitely do not want. While every effort will be made to cater for your preferences, there are no guarantees that you will get all of your desired subjects. Please also remember to complete the Google Form in yesterday's notification. Mr Dowling has asked me to include a link to information on the LCVP programme, particularly the Powerpoint overview of the programme towards the bottom of the page here: pdst.ie/JCSP-TY-LCA-LCVP/LCVP If you have any further questions about LCVP please contact Mr Dowling at seandowling@cpckilcullen.com or Ms O'Malley at aoifeomalley@cpckilcullen.com Remember you have until Monday 6th April to submit preferences. Keep safe everyone J Leonard

Dear Parents/Guardians/Students, I hope you are all well. As I mentioned last week, planning for 5th year continues and I am now inviting you to indicate your preferences for next year. 1. Please complete the Google Form here for each student: forms.gle/ZyGPHfFF6kT2Svte6 2. Please log in to VsWare (parents/guardians) Select Student Options on the left hand side, read the instructions and select subject preferences with your son/daughter from the drop down menus. A demonstration video is available here: vsware.wistia.com/medias/kr62eqh02z Please remember it is vital that you choose a subject for all spaces. Incomplete forms will not be accepted. The order of your preferences is important, please consider carefully the subjects you most want to do.

Incomplete subject preferences will be completed on your behalf. I am attaching some information of the Leaving Certificate Applied programme. If anybody wishes to apply for a place on this programme or would like further information please contact Ms Mills at sabrinamills@cpckilcullen.com Thank you and continued good wishes to you all and your loved ones.

Dear Parents/Guardians/Students, I hope you are all keeping well and continuing to follow the advice we have all been given regarding our social interactions and social distancing. In addition, we all need to remember the importance of hand hygiene and cough etiquette. It may be tempting with the spell of good weather to congregate and meet up with friends - I am appealing to you not to do this. We all need to play our part in fighting this virus, no matter how inconvenient it is for us. I don't think it's too much to ask. Lives are at risk. Our family members that are frontline workers are facing danger everyday for our benefit. The very least they deserve is our cooperation in the simple task of social distancing and staying home where possible. I want to take the opportunity to thank those of you who have sent such supportive messages, thanking the staff for their efforts in maintaining learning in this extraordinary situation. Rest assured that teachers are working hard every day in difficult personal and professional circumstances to ensure continuity of learning. I am seeing so many creative ways that teachers are engaging in to support our students and I know that this will continue and expand. Please be patient and accept that there are a number of ways that our teachers are supporting the students. I know this time is really difficult for you, our students. To our 6th years, a special message to keep going, keep revising, keep submitting the work and keep positive. Exam class students (or others) might like to access The Educational Company of Ireland Revise Wise series of books for free by: 1. Going to edcolearning.ie/trial 2. Login or Register 3. Enter code (for Junior Cycle enter 9878, for Leaving Cert enter 6456) I am making a special appeal to students and parents to please respect the online learning environment. I am sorry to say that I have received one report of inappropriate behaviour where a private code was passed by our students to others not from the school to access and disturb an online lesson. Parents, you are rightly expecting teachers to step up to the plate in these extraordinary circumstances. I am asking you too, to step up to the plate in ensuring your son/daughter respects this learning environment. It may be timely to read our Acceptable Use Policy www.cpckilcullen.com/information/policies/acceptable-use-policy/ I am also hearing some feedback from teachers about a lack of engagement from some students. I am very mindful that there may be very good reasons for this but I would urge parents to check with their son/daughter and to see that they are logging into their school email account regularly. As mentioned previously any issues regarding login etc. should be sent to schoolclosure2020@gmail.com Finally, a reminder of the hashtag #edshareie on Twitter where resources are constantly being shared of everything from experiments, demonstrations, competitions, presentations and more. I wish each and every one of you continued good health and keep positive. Best wishes J Leonard
