Exceptional School Closure
Taoiseach’s Announcemnt 12/03/2020

Dear Parents,
Following the Taoiseach’s announcement on the actions to be taken to face the Pandemic of CoVid19-Coronavirus, the school will close with immediate effect until 29^th March 2020, or until such time as we are instructed to reopen.

Activity books and other material are in their school bags to enable regular activities to be completed at home.  This is under family time and the school and teachers take no responsibility for work not completed.  We would encourage all pupils to do the activities to get through the next few weeks in this unprecedented time. 

Our general suggestions would be that pupils would read material, any material, for 20 mins or more every day, that workbook activities would be completed on a daily basis and that a certain amount of time would be shared between reading to parents and monitoring those written activities.  All board games, personal interactive games such as cards etc. should be utilised to develop children socially over this time and we would ask that parents monitor and limit screen time, particularly the hour before bedtime.

Pupils could engage in personal projects to be displayed in school when we reopen.  

These suggestions are all voluntary and each family can decide for themselves whether to complete the activities in the books or not.

Best Wishes over this time.
Stay Safe,

Brendan Horan, Principal
