WELCOME TO OUR SCHOOL WEB SITE

Dear Parents, A huge "thank you" to everyone who helped out with the bag packing in Dunnes Stores recently,- the co-ordinators, the parents and past pupils (who were really great to support us), all those who counted the money (€3929.75 ) made up mostly of coinage - A massive job and of course to all the shoppers who were so generous to us. We had over thirty of our forty four families involved which was very encouraging with some of the remaining parents contacting us with very genuine reasons for their absence. We have now cleared our debt which is just marvellous and a big relief		LOTTO We are hosting the Lotto at the moment as you know, with the aim of selling 350 tickets at the very minimum every week to ensure our 50% share of the profits. Last week we sold 479 - wonderful - keep it up please. Again I would ask that every family does its bit- that's only fair. We are only guaranteed the Lotto for only another 7 weeks so we want to make the most of it.

PHONE DETAILS It has come to our notice that we have no way of contacting some parents in an emergency. Many people have done away with land lines and only use a mobile phone. However, they forget to inform us of a change in number when they change their mobile phones. If you are in this category please contact us with your new details.		MOBILE PHONES While on the subject of phones I’d like to point out to all parents that children are not allowed have mobile phones. If, on the very rare occasion that they need to be in contact with you, they are asked to hand up the mobile phone in the morning to the teacher in question. One of the reasons for not allowing phones is that it is quite possible that children may have unsuitable material downloaded on the phones and that picture phones might be used inappropriately.
SENIOR INFANTS The parents of Senior Infants are asked to note that Ms.Harnett will be taking these children for an extra hour (i.e. 2pm. to 3 pm.) from Monday 31st March till Friday 30th May. They will then revert back to 2 pm for the three weeks in June.(Holidays on 20th June). Junior Infants are to be collected as normal at 2 pm.		FUTURE PLANNING Just to let you know that the Board of Management made a decision to initiate procedures for the building of a fourth classroom. This need has arisen due to the fact that our numbers are on the increase and that we will be over the eighty mark in two years time. This is the magic number for the appointment of an extra teacher. We have 72 on the rolls at the moment. This would be marvellous as each teacher would then have just two classes each. However, the downside is that if we are granted permission extra fundraising will be needed to carry out the extension. However, more about that in the future.
