Dear parents,
I wish to bring the following to your attention.
Yesterday, the boys and girls in Third class began Cycling Lessons under the expert guidance of John Clancy.
Tomorrow, the children in 5th and 6th classes begin a 10 week course in IT with Whizzkids. The classes are based on the NCCA objectives for ICT and are provided by qualified teachers.
Parents Association: There is a Recycling day planned for Friday October 14th. Please have your bags of unwanted clothes, handbags, paired shoes etc in bags at the school by 9.15am that morning. Many Thanks in advance for your help.
The Parents Association AGM will be held on Wednesday 12th October at 8pm. All parents welcome.
Safety: It is important to collect children promptly at end of school day. Children not collected must wait inside the school grounds until they are collected.
Please ensure the school has up to date contact details in the event of an emergency.
Closing date for Allianz Pupil Personal Insurance is Friday Sept. 23rd.
I would like to express my gratitude to all the families for their Art & Craft/Photocopying contributions. If you have not yet paid this money, you can give it to Rosemarie in the school office any day between 9a.m. and 2p.m. €35 per child or €60 per family.
Open Nights for post- primary schools will go ahead during the months of September and October. If your child is in Sixth Class this year, it is important to attend these occasions before you make your choice of secondary school. Each child in Sixth class has received a Common Application Form and Information Sheet. The closing date for application is Monday January 16th. 2017.
