Children feeling unwell - 

While all children are more than welcome back to school, we would like

to remind parents that where children are displaying colds, coughs or flu

like symptoms, they should not be sent to school. Parents will be asked

to collect children who display such symptoms.

A few things to highlight:

Masks - 

Please continue to wear masks at all drop off and collections, and to maintain social distancing as far as possible. 

School bags - 

We will be reintroducing schoolbags. It is paramount it only contains the bare essentials as instructed by individual class teachers, including lunchbox and water bottle. Please provide a second pencil case and hand sanitiser that will be kept in school. 

Label everything - 

Please clearly label ALL jumpers and coats as we cannot operate a Lost Property.

Parking - 

We encourage you to scoot, cycle or walk to school where possible. Parents are welcome to park in the Church Car Park opposite the school. A traffic warden is on duty at the start and end of each day, who will safely escort the children across the road. 
For safety and logistical reasons, the small car park at the school is strictly limited to staff and those who require disable parking facilities. There is strictly no parking on the footpath right of the teachers car park spaces as access is required at all times for emergency vehicles etc.
As instructed by the HSE, we also ask that you do not park or congregate on the grounds of the Health Centre.

Parents will not be allowed on school premises without an appointment through the office.
