Dear parents/guardians and former students of the class of 2020, The long wait is almost over. Tomorrow morning, you will be able to access your Leaving Certificate Calculated Grades online through the student portal you registered with previously. I am attaching an important document explaining the next steps in this process, please read it carefully. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to gather in the school due to the public health restrictions in place. As it is a full school day for the current students, I must ask that you do not come to the school without prior approval and an appointment. This is necessary to protect your health and safety and that of the entire school community. Details of the support available is contained in the attached notice. I would like to wish you the very best of luck with tomorrow and the days ahead as many of you finalise your next steps following the issuing of the results. Celebrate safely and sensibly, but do mark the occasion in some way with your families…you deserve it. Best wishes J Leonard Principal

Dear parents/guardians, it is vital that we are able to communicate effectively now more than ever. Please ensure that we have the correct current contact details for you - if you change address, phone number, email address etc it is essential that you inform the school through admin@cpckilcullen.com immediately. The phone numbers we have for you MUST be active and you MUST be able to take a call on one of the numbers we have in case of emergency and/or Covid-19 concerns. I appreciate that this can be a challenge but it is a key part of the Covid-19 Response Plan. Likewise, you need to be able to contact us. If the purpose of the contact relates to a subject specific matter then please phone or email the office (045) 481524 or admin@cpckilcullen.com with details and a message will be passed to the teacher concerned. If it relates to any other matter your first point of contact should be with the year head: 1st year Ms Mills sabrinamills@cpckilcullen.com 2nd year Ms Fennell amandafennell@cpckilcullen.com 3rd year Ms Twomey marytwomey@cpckilcullen.com 4th year Mr Wheeler eoinwheeler@cpckilcullen.com / TY coordinator Ms Groome glendagroome@cpckilcullen.com 5th year Ms Gillespie margaretagillespie@cpckilcullen.com 6th year Mr Dennehy denisdennehy@cpckilcullen.com The Deputy Principals, Ms Harney (1st year, 3rd year, 5th year) and Ms Lennon (2nd year, 4th year, 6th year) are also available should you need to contact them katrionaharney@cpckilcullen.com or fionalennon@cpckilcullen.com I remain available of course (joeleonard@cpckilcullen.com) but with 850 students in the school it is important that a structure is in place to deal in a timely fashion with communications from parents. Currently in line with the Response Plan, visitors to the school are being restricted. A reminder that there must be no visitors to the school without the prior approval of the principal. The vast majority of meetings that are required can take place by phone or video call if necessary. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation with this matter. Kind regards J Leonard

We had another successful day welcoming back our 3rd and 6th year students today. There were many changes to explain to them but they took it in their stride and I have no doubt they will adapt to the situation well. Well done to all today. Tomorrow we welcome back the last groups of students to return - our 2nd, 4th and 5th years. Ms Groome and Mr Wheeler have already been in touch by email today with the 4th year parents with details about tomorrow. We are asking 2nd year students to enter and exit using: Red Zone entrance (doors across from Daybreak). Base Classrooms are as follows: 2A - Rm 13 2B - Rm 2 2C - Rm 14 2D - Rm 1 2E - Ref 1 2F - Rm 20 Fifth year students should enter and exit here: Green Zone entrance (doors by reception area) 5th year Base Classrooms are: 5A - Rm 6 5B - Rm 19 5C - Rm 17 5D - Study Hall 5E - Rm 22 5L - Comp Rm 2 Students are asked not to come to school too early if possible and to go to your base classroom when you arrive in time for a 9am start. Remember to bring a snack and a drink for break time. Induction finishes at 1.15 tomorrow. I look forward to seeing you tomorrow. J Leonard
Applications for 1st year 2021/2022

Dear parents/guardians, as you know from a previous communication, the Admissions Policy for Cross and Passion College is currently being updated in line with the enactment of the Education (Admission to Schools) Act 2018 for the year 2020/2021. The policy will be approved by the trustees (Le Chéile) and ratified by the Board of Management shortly. An important change due to the Act is the new standardisation of dates of application for a place in 1st year for the following year. No school can accept applications before October 1st 2020 and the Admissions Notice will not be published until a week before this. The school will cease accepting applications on October 22nd 2020. Therefore, all other application forms / policies refer to past years and are not valid and can not be used. The school website is being updated to reflect this. I would like to thank parents/guardians for their understanding as I know many parents are anxious about securing a place in CPC but as mentioned this is a legal requirement to change the familiar dates rather than a school decision. Details of the updated policy and application form will be posted on the school website, communicated through the school app, notified to local primary schools and a notice will be posted on the Kilcullen Diary. Kind regards J Leonard

It was lovely to welcome our new 1st year students to CPC today. They looked great in the CPC blue and adapted to the new requirements really well. Well done to all of them! Now we are ready to welcome back our 3rd and 6th years tomorrow at 9am. Induction will take place in class base rooms detailed below. We are minimising interactions between year groups by asking students to enter and exit via dedicated doors. 3rd years: Blue Zone entrance (doors between Rm 9 and Rm 10). Base Classrooms 3A - Rm 8 3B - Rm 9 3C - Rm 28 3D - TY Rm 3E - Rm 27 3F - Demo Room Sixth year: Red Zone entrance (doors across from Daybreak). Base Classrooms 6A - Rm 7 6B - Sacred Space 6C - Rm 24 6D - Rm 21 6E - Rm 23 6LCA - Rm 25 Students are asked not to arrive too early - induction will start at 9am and students must go directly to the rooms above. Cloth face coverings (face masks) must be worn in line with national and school policy including in all classrooms and corridors inside the building. The exceptions to this are detailed in the response plan circulated to parents and a medical certificate should be provided to support this where relevant. Where such a medical certificate is provided a visor must be worn instead. If a student does not wear a mask (or a visor if there is a medical certificate) then they will not be allowed access to the school. Please cooperate with your school on this matter and discuss it in depth with your son/daughter. Kind regards J Leonard

Important information for parents/guardians and students ahead of school reopening

Dear Parents/Guardians and Students, I hope you are all keeping well. By now I am sure you have had a chance to read through the information I sent to you last week. I appreciate there is a lot of detail in it and a lot to go through with your son/daughter. It is vital that everyone has a clear understanding of the changes that have to be implemented. I have received a small number of queries from parents/guardians and we are doing our best to address these and respond. In some cases we are waiting for clarification on issues from the DES, for example, with regard to guidance on support for students who may not return to school immediately for various reasons. Your patience is appreciated as this remains an incredibly busy time with work continuing in the school to prepare for reopening. Today, I am attaching information that has been supplied by the DES specifically for parents/guardians and students. The attached PDF documents provide advice for parents/guardians and information from the HSE. In addition the DES have published information videos for parents/guardians and students here: www.gov.ie/en/publication/2d3af-advice-during-covid-19-back-to-school-advice-for-parents/ In particular, the video here youtu.be/69fIzlMXrMM should be watched by all students. This video should be watched by all parents/guardians youtu.be/03RXGM1hMMI Best wishes J Leonard

Update on Reopening plans in CPC

Dear parents/guardians and students, I hope you are all keeping well and beginning to look forward to returning to CPC. As you are aware, there will be many changes in schools up and down the country to try to minimise the risk of the spread of Covid-19. The resources I shared with you at the end of July have formed the basis of our preparations for reopening. I am attaching a copy of the CPC Covid-19 Response Plan. I am also attaching a Question and Answer document which might help to answer queries you may have about our reopening. The role of parents and students in our reopening is key. Without the cooperation of both, the plan will not work. I will be in touch throughout the week ahead to emphasise key points and to provide further details ahead of reopening.. For now please study the two documents carefully to prepare for our return. Parents and guardians please speak with your children and discuss the changes outlined in the Q and A document. In a slight change to the provisional return details I sent previously please note the following: Monday 31st August - all staff in school (no students) Tuesday 1st September - 1st years only 9-12.15 - staff meetings/planning until 4pm Wednesday 2nd September - 3rd and 6th years only 9-1.15 - staff meetings/planning until 4pm Thursday 3rd September - 2nd, 4th and 5th years only 9-1.15 - staff meetings/planning until 4pm Friday 4th September - all year groups in for full classes This phased return for all will allow time to explain in detail the changes to our students, as well as the normal induction information at the start of the year. I want to thank you for your patience and understanding in what I know is an anxious time for us all. Best wishes and take care J Leonard
