Dear Parent/Guardian, We only today received the guidance document to guide us on how to support students who are at a very high risk to Covid 19. This is an extract from the document which can be viewed in full at www.gov.ie/en/publication/7acad-reopening-our-post-primary-schools/. "It is important to note that a very high risk student is one with an underlying medical condition that makes him/her extremely vulnerable from contracting COVID-19. Schools must be provided with a letter from a medical professional stating that the student falls into that category. The arrangements in this guidance apply to those students only. All other students are expected to return to school. The adapted education provisions set out in this document to support students at very high risk to COVID-19 do not apply to students who are at risk of early school leaving, students who are experiencing COVID-related anxiety about the return to school or students who have been requested to self-isolate by a medical doctor or the Health Service Executive (HSE). " If your student falls into any category on this HSE list; Very high risk groups (extremely vulnerable) The list of people in very high risk groups include people who: Have had an organ transplant. Are undergoing active chemotherapy for cancer. Are having radical radiotherapy for lung cancer. Have cancers of the blood or bone marrow such as leukaemia, lymphoma or myeloma who are at any stage of treatment are having immunotherapy or other continuing antibody treatments for cancer. Are having other targeted cancer treatments which can affect the immune system, such as protein kinase inhibitors or PARP inhibitors have had bone marrow or stem cell transplants in the last 6 months, or who are still taking immunosuppression drugs. Are on dialysis Have unstable or severe cystic fibrosis. This includes people awaiting a transplant, severe respiratory conditions including Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, severe asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, lung fibrosis, interstitial lung disease and severe COPD. Have a condition that means you have a very high risk of getting infections (such as SCID, homozygous sickle cell). Are taking medicine that makes you much more likely to get infections (such as high doses of steroids or immunosuppression therapies) Have a serious heart condition and you're pregnant. Please provide us with an original letter from a medical professional (GP or Consultant) stating that the student falls into that category at your earliest opportunity. This letter may be posted or hand delivered to our school for the attention of Mr Nolan or Mr Cahillane. We will then be in contact with you to discuss how the school can best provide for the continuity of your student's learning. Take care!
Passwords for Office 365
Created : 07 Sep 2020, 9:21 AM
Archived : 25 Sep 2020, 1:00 AM
All students with the possible exception of some 1st Year students should have a password for their school Office 365 account. All students that applied for a password last March - May should still use this password. It was a mammoth task to issue all the passwords when the school building was closed. Therefore, it is important that students keep their password in a safe place and not share it with anyone else. There is no facility for students to change their assigned password - please do not attempt to do this as it renders the existing password useless. It is very important that all students have this password to hand in school from Wednesday. Please check with your student(s) that they have their password and that it works. In the unlikely event that your student does not have a functioning password - please apply to Mr Cahillane for a new password using the "Parent Note" facility on this App. Many thanks, JP Cahillane

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
