A message for Parents

A message for parents following the Easter break.

Parents, I hope you all had a nice Easter break. At least the weather was good which made things a little easier during the lockdown.

As schools will not be reopening for another few weeks we will begin allocating work for our pupils again from Monday 20^th April. We will be giving all our pupils the opportunity to send some of their work to their teachers if they wish to and the teachers will be able to give some feedback to the pupils. This will be explained by each teacher on their class page on the school website.

It is important to stress that this is optional as we realise that children will need help from parents to send work back and parents may not have time to do this. We do not want to burden children and parents with too much work as this can be counterproductive.

The work the teachers suggest is like a menu, just pick and choose what suits you. Just try to find a balance that works for your own situation and please do not worry if children don’t get work completed. Staying safe and healthy is the most important thing at this time.

Thanks again to our fantastic pupils for all the work they have done on their own at home so far and to all our parents for supporting them with school work. We are looking forward to having you all back in school as soon as possible.

Mise le meas,

Mike Mc Auliffe.

A Message for pupils & parents

A message for pupils and parents as we begin the Easter holidays.

Parents and Pupils,

It is just over three weeks since we had to close the school at such short notice. So much has happened in those three weeks yet despite all the unprecedented events taking place around us our pupils have still managed to keep in touch with their school work.

We know from the activity on our website that a huge amount of work has been done at home and I would like to thank all our pupils for the magnificent effort you have put in over the last three weeks. I would also like to thank all the parents for the support you are giving the children with their school work.

As we are now on the Easter Holidays we want to give all our pupils and parents a well-earned break.

We will not be giving out any work for the next two weeks.

We will start again on April 20^th as it looks like we will not be back to school by then.

Finally, I want to thank you all again for your work over the last three weeks. We are looking forward to having everyone back with us again in school when all this is over. I hope you all get some down time over the next two weeks and I wish you all a healthy and safe Easter break.

Mise le meas,

Mike Mc Auliffe.
