​Dear parents/guardians

This week will be our last week posting work on the school website. No academic work will be posted from here on out as the school would have closed on the 22nd of June.

Book rental returns – Could the parents of the children who took up any book rental scheme last year, please return the books to the school on Saturday the 20th of June between 10.30am & 12.30am please.

Book rental this year – Book rental is only available to some classes and is completely optional.  We are going to operate an opt out system. If the scheme is offered to your child’s class and if you don’t want to use the scheme please email drinaghns@gmail.com to opt out.

School Insurance – this covers your child 24/7 for a full calendar year. This cover is mandatory and will cost you €10 per child

School levy – this is €25 per child and €50 for a family of 3 or greater. This levy helps cover the costs of photocopying, printing, E books subscription- (may be necessary this year), art & craft material, testing booklets etc.

Swimming – I don’t see swimming going ahead this September. I’ve requested a slot for the final term next year as it may be a possibility then.

Education Passport for sixth class students – I have attached three documents regarding sixth class children’s passport for moving onto secondary school. Sixth class parents, please view in the sixth class section on the website.

School reports will be posted out to parents on Wednesday the 17th of June.
 
Book lists will be available to download and print from the website next Thursday the 18th of June.
 
Class teachers and class allocations will be decided in early August - Due to covid-19 and social distancing rules, a decision on this cannot be made any earlier.
 
School will reopen on Thursday the 27th of August.
 
I would like to wish the present sixth class all the very best in their future endeavours. We hope to see them at their graduation ceremony this September/October, guidelines permitting.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and yours all of the very best for the summer. May it be a safe, healthy and happy one and whatever your holiday plans are, may they be most enjoyable!
 
Happy holidays!!
Regards
Dominic Hayes (Principal)
