Dear Parents/Guardians,
The school build will commence on Monday, 7th December 2015. Children will not be permitted to use the side entrance at tower they usually use when entering the school, while the build is ongoing.
Junior and Senior Infants classes will enter the school through the Main Entrance (beside the office) each day.
1st, 2nd, 3rd and Mr. Donovan’s 6th class will enter the school through the unused side gate to the right of the main entrance (carpark) and enter their classrooms through the Fire Exit doors at the rear of the school.
4th, 5th and Mr. Fitzgerald’s 6th class will enter the school through the old entrance to centre of school.
Reminder:
The gates will open at the usual time 9:50am in the mornings. Please note that children are not supervised before that time and there is no responsibility for their safety. We are asking parents not to drop their children off before this time. This will be particularly important throughout the building project.
Thank you for you co-operation and continued support.

We have just received confirmation that the “New Build” will start on 7th December. Every effort has been made to ensure the safety of children during this time, however we are asking all Parents/Guardians to be patient as there will be times when some parking will not be available. This is an exciting project and hopefully any inconvenience caused will be worthwhile and we ask you to be extra vigilant of children when dropping and collecting from the school. We also are trying to keep the loss of car parking spaces to a minimum, but some inconvenience in this regard will be inevitable. We will keep you informed of progress of build throughout the project. Details of new entering and exiting will be sent to you before Friday.
Thank you for your continued support.
We are asking children to bring in a Christmas Tree Bauble to decorate out Christmas tree in the school. All baubles brought in will be returned on the last day of term, before the Christmas Holidays Tuesday, 22nd December 2015.
