Fáilte mór ar ais chuig scoilbhliain nua 2014-15.  A big welcome to the whole school community, pupils, parents and school staff.  Fáilte speisialta to the naíonáin bheaga and all new pupils, parents and muinteoirí.  The first day at school was a special day and the new naíonáin bheaga (junior infants) have already settled in with considerable aplomb, with their múinteoirí Úna agus Áine.

Naí Bheaga/Junior Infants will be allowed home at 12.00noon up to and including Thursday next 4th Sept, to ease their early days at school.  Full timetable will be in place thereafter.

Abhaile/Home time for Infants:  The children will be brought to the rear exit area by their respective múinteoirí/S.N.A.  They will be handed over to their parents/child minders individually for safety purposes.
For organizational and safety reasons avoid collecting your child, from the classroom door, at hometime as it is impractictal and leads to disruption of valuable educational time.  Thanking you for your co-operation.
Ranganna ag tosnú 8.55am  - Classes begin.
Naíonáin abhaile 1.40pm – Junior and Senior Infant home time.
Ranganna eile abhaile 2.40pm – Home time for all other classes.

Eadaí Scoile:  Kindly ensure that your child is wearing the proper school uniform, which is available locally in Neville’s Drapery and Flavins’ Sports.  Black shoes only.  Runner and sneaker type footwear should only be worn on P.E. days. Ensure that your child’s clothes are labelled, with his/her name.
  
Bí Sábhálta:  To maximise road safety, kindly hold your child’s hand when exiting the school.  Children should be encouraged to watch out for traffic and to use the services of our excellent road warden also.  Avoid letting your child free to run/play games as they exit the school.  They need guidance and supervision, moreover when exiting the school.  Thanking you for your co-operation.

Trácht: While parking is problematic, do not park at the entrance to the apartments nearby as residents need to exit and enter their homes.  Again thanking you for your co-operation.

Gaelscoil:  We all need to use our `cúpla focal`at school and at home.  Thanking all those who use basic Gaeilge, at home and at school to reinforce the school day. 

Let’s make our school a gaelscoil.  We all need to make an extra effort to create a gaelscoil atmosphere.  Slán go fóill.
