Transition Year
Dear TY Parents, Guardians & Students, Wishing you all a very Happy New Year. I hope this message finds you all healthy and well. As you are aware we will be operating from a remote capacity for the next few weeks until 31st January at which time the current Covid-19 situation will be reviewed. This is of course not how I would have liked to start our 2021 Transition Year journey together but none the less we will have to step up to the situation and do our best to make the most of it. This is not to be seen as time off or an extended holiday. As TY students you are in the fortunate position to not have exams and thus this time can hopefully be used to better yourselves personally, and perhaps achieve goals which you might not otherwise get to accomplish in in a traditional school year. Both myself and your teachers will still be linking in with students remotely and setting work which is to be completed independently. TY students do not have to follow the normal school timetable or be present online for all of their timetabled classes. They do need to check their emails and Google Classrooms daily as teachers will pre-arrange live meet-ups with you beforehand. Work will be set for students to complete and teachers will then link in with you again at a later date to check progress. It is important to keep an eye on your Google Classrooms and stay in contact with each other so as to keep up to date with all that is going on. This week I will link in live with each TY class at our normal Tutorials class time on Wednesday and Thursday. This will be done through Google Meet and will be posted in the Tutorials Google Classroom. I will provide all information as to what is expected over the next few weeks during this link-in, and will also send this information to parents afterwards. I will also be setting some lockdown challenges for students to take part in (steps/running challenges, photography challenges etc.). These will come with rewards for the winners. In the meantime, all students have access to the Irish Academy of Computer Training (IACT) vocational courses which we set up in November and can be found in their Tutorials Google Classroom. If any student is having difficulty accessing their online accounts please make contact with me immediately. Students must also remember to conduct themselves appropriately online at all times. Be on time, situate yourselves in a suitable place at home free from distractions, dress appropriately and have respect at all times. This is unfortunately the situation we are being presented with for your Transition Year. How we choose to deal with it can yield very different outcomes. Do what you can at home to help, do what you can to make this time advantageous for you. Come your summer portfolio assessment I will be looking to see how you spent this lockdown, the efforts you went to and what successes or failures came from it. Look after your physical and mental health. Take the time to get outside or to switch off from devices. Many thanks for your continued support and patience, S.Coy sc@naascbs.ie
Return to School 2021

Dear Parents, Guardians & Students, A very Happy New Year to you all. We hope this message finds everyone in the Naas CBS community healthy and well. As you may have seen from recent government announcements there has been a few changes to the return of school next week. To confirm, all year groups will be taught remotely until January 31st at which time the current Covid-19 situation will be reviewed. Please see link below for yesterday’s press release from Minister for Education Norma Foley confirming that all schools will regrettably remain closed to students from Monday 11th January. www.education.ie/en/Press-Events/Press-Releases/2021-press-releases/PR21-01-07.html Live classes will begin on Tuesday 12th January from 9.00am for all year groups. Mr. Coy will be in contact with Transition Year parents, guardians and students before then. A staff zoom meeting & planning day is taking place on Monday 11th January in advance of the online classes beginning on Tuesday. It is imperative, as has been done since September, that all students use their school email to engage with Google Classroom and communicate with their teachers. This will be monitored next week and students not engaging appropriately with this forum will be contacted by the school. Please email Mr. Maguire lmg@naascbs.ie if you need any help with your school email or password. Using the student email address helps the learning experience for all involved to run much more seamlessly and for other areas of the Google suite such as Google Meets to be accessed. Any exams that a teacher may choose to conduct online must once again be completed using the student email address so please ensure that this is set up and ready to go for Tuesday morning. As is expected we hope that all students conduct themselves respectfully and appropriately online over the coming weeks. These are exceptionally challenging times for everyone, especially for our teachers and students. Therefore, we expect and want the students to engage in a safe and positive way on Google Classroom, any discrepancy will be dealt with seriously by our Year Heads and Management Team. We hope this live online engagement is only for a short period and that our students can return back to the classroom soon. Christmas reports will be available via VSWare in mid-January and an app notification will be sent once the reports are live on the system. We ask that teachers and students follow their school timetable from 9.00am – 4.00pm each day. Teachers will be in contact via Google Classroom and guide the live learning from there. If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact the school. Many thanks for your continued support and take care. The Management Team

Dear Parents/Guardians and Students, In what has been a difficult and challenging calendar year, I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your wonderful and constant support. The lads have been fabulous in what is a trying time for them and we are very grateful for their "buy in" and positive approach. We got through this by working together and looking out for each other. Well done to all. I would like to wish all in the school community a happy, peaceful and healthy Christmas and every blessing for 2021. "In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer, And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there's something stronger, something better and I can succeed." Many thanks and take care, Ben Travers and the management team.
