Dear Parents/Guardians, I am writing to you to thank you for your support and cooperation throughout the last few weeks. It has been a very busy month of August preparing for the reopening of our school. On Monday we welcomed our new first years and by the end of the week 6th years and 3rd years will be settling back in school. By the middle of next week we will have all our students back in school. So far everyone is adjusting well to the new school environment and following the guidelines issued to us by the HSE. It is important to keep reminding your son/daughter about good hand hygiene, correct cough and sneeze etiquette and appropriate social distancing. I am attaching a letter for you from Ronan Glynn the acting chief medical officer. Kind Regards Padraig Nolan

School Re-Opening Dates - Provisional Update

Archived : 10 Sep 2020, 1:00 AM
Please note a change for Second Year Students in the document attached. Return dates are also available in the calendar on this App. Dear Parents, Thank you for your patience, I now have dates attached when we hope to reopen the school to students. School will be different and hence the longer staggered start than usual. We need to meet the students in their year groups so they are clear how the school will operate going forward. We are also in the process of organising school for students who may be vulnerable or are from vulnerable families. If you feel your child is in a vulnerable situation returning to school, will you please let the office know by phone? We will do our best for these students using the guidelines given to us by the DES. I will be in contact again shortly with more details of the school reopening plan. In the meantime I ask parents to continue reminding students of the good practices to help keep us safe from Covid 19. Yours Sincerely, Padraig Nolan

We hope this notification finds you and your family well. We attach some information that came to us today from the HSE via the Minister Norma Foley at the Department of Education and Science. This information relates to the health of the child. I have also pasted below some of the letter from the Minister as it has some useful, informative links. All this material can be accessed at www.gov.ie/en/campaigns/a128d-back-to-school/ We will be providing you with some more detailed about our approach to the return to school on Friday, the safety of our school community is paramount to us. "We have updated gov.ie/backtoschool with new materials for parents and for students. These are designed to be age-appropriate and have been developed in consultation with children and young people and parents. I am grateful to everyone who has participated in giving us this feedback and support and I hope you find them useful. • Video for parents with key information on supporting children to return to school available here and here • Fliers for parents – these are attached in this email but are also available for download here. The HSE has prepared material on recognising symptoms, which complements the material from the Department on returning to school. This is available here • Age-appropriate videos for children and young people at different stages. Videos for primary (both junior and senior level) and post-primary students are available here • Resources in a wide range of languages. Many schools will enjoy a huge diversity among their student and parent community. To support these parents, we have translated guidance for parents at gov.ie/backtoschool. The Covid-19 World Service project has also consulted with the Department and has used our key messages to produce a range of videos in a variety of languages which your school community may find helpful – please see more at nascireland.org/covid-19-world-service
