Dear Parents,
Fifth and Sixth classes began a year-long programme with Music Generation last Monday. Patrick O Brien is the musician in residence. The year's work will culminate in a performance in Thomond Park in June 2019.
Fifth class are receiving weekly lessons from John and Kieran of the Cycling Safety school.
MPCC Credit Union will return to school tomorrow October 5th and on the first Friday of every month.
Please ensure that you inform the school of the reason for any absences. Notes were provided for this purpose at the beginning of the school year. The school has a statutory obligation to make a report to Tusla in the case of every child who is absent for twenty days or more in any school year. It is vital that you furnish the school with a reason for any absences.

Parent teacher meetings are on Tuesday and Wednesday October 23rd and 24th. Parents will receive details of appointments next week.
Parents are reminded that school will close for midterm on Thursday October 25th at 3 p.m. and reopen on Monday November 5th.
