Our Kildare Cross Country Winners, Conor Walsh, Dara Cosgrave, Daniel Smal and Oran O’Grady. Well done to you we are all very proud.

The situation with regard to children being collected early has improved and I would like to thank parents/guardians for their co-operation in this matter.  Please note the following:

• Children leaving school before normal finishing time must be signed out from office and a reason must be given.
• There is no need to ring the school if your child is absent, however a written note/email must be sent into the school giving the reason for absence.
• Where no explanation is given for being collected early or in absence this is recorded as “no reason” on the child’s record which is then forwarded to the Department of Education & Skills and T.U.S.L.A. (educational welfare board) records.
• Please provide your child’s teacher with names of anyone who has permission to collect your child/children.
• Children need written permission to walk/cycle from school.  These are kept in the office.  No child will be allowed to leave the school without this permission.

Dear Parents/Guardians,

The Robertstown National School Parent’s Association will hold their Annual General Meeting on Wednesday evening, October 1st at 8:15pm in the school. All parents of children at Robertstown National School are automatically members of the Parent Association.  It is an important meeting for your Parent Association, and the greater Parent Body of the school, as it is an opportunity for Parents to hear about the work the Parent Association Committee has been carrying out.

The current Parent Association Committee will be dissolved at the AGM and a new Committee will be elected.  It is important for as many parents as possible to attend and to vote in a new Committee.   We realise not all parents have the time to serve on the Committee and/or have responsibility for the day to day running of the Parent Association, but even if you feel you cannot commit to being on the Committee, come and join us at the AGM, meet the new Committee Members and check out what the Committee does and hopes to do in the future. Your Parent Association plays an important role in your children’s school.

The agenda for the AGM will cover:

• Welcome & Minutes of 2013 AGM
• Chairperson’s Report on the work of the Parent Association
• Treasurer’s Report
• Update from Board of Management
• NPC News & Updates
• Election of new Parent Association Committee
• Events planning for 2014/2015
• AOB

Every parent is welcome and you might even find that there is some other way you could help the Committee without committing a great deal of your valuable time. For those parents who cannot make the AGM but would like to get involved in some way with the Parent Association, let one of the current Committee know or drop us a quick email at rnsparentsassociation@gmail.com.

We look forward to meeting new and old parents on Wednesday evening October 1st at 8:15pm.

Regards,

RNS Parent Association Committee

There will be a Staff Meeting on next Wednesday, 8th October 2014 @ 1:35pm.       All children will be going home at this time.

2nd Class drew some very flattering pictures of everyone who works in our school. Can you recognise members of staff?

The U11 girls football team played (and won!) an excellent game of football today against Broadford. The girls played brilliantly and did their school proud 🙂 Well done girls!

Just a reminder that there is a total ban on all types of cereal bars. Thanks for your co-operation on this.
