Parent Communication 3rd February
Dear Parent/Guardian,
I hope you and your families are keeping safe and well in these worrying times.
The Department of Education has announced that schools will be closed for face to face teaching until at least Monday 8th March. The current high rates of infection and hospitalisation means that this continues to be necessary in the short term.
I would like to thank you all (both parents and pupils) for your fantastic engagement in Remote Learning. We know how difficult it is to juggle the demands of work and home schooling.
I would also like to pay tribute to all our school staff and thank them for their hard work and dedication. They have embraced new technology and are providing innovative, creative and high-quality teaching and learning experiences for all the children through our online platforms.
On Friday 5th February the work packs from the last two weeks have to be returned and the new packs should be collected. The timetable is as follows;
P1, 2, 3 – 9.30-10.30
P4 & P5 - 11am- 12noon
P6 & P7 – 1pm – 2pm
There will be a collection point organised for packs which are being returned. Multiple class packs can be lifted at the same time.
Any work which has already been submitted through the website does not need to be returned in the pack!
The following books should not be returned in the pack;
Primary 2

All adults collecting and dropping off packs will be required to wear a face covering and adhere to social distancing.

Mid-Term Break
The school will be closed for mid-term break from Monday 15th to Friday 19th February and we would encourage everyone to take a well-earned break away from the online learning. There will be no supervised learning in school and work will not be corrected on the school website.
Thank you for your continued support.
Seamus McCreesh
Principal
