Please make sure all belongings are marked with your child's name.
Children wear the school tracksuit and polo shirt & appropriate sports shoes on the day they have P.E./sporting activities. In the summer months, plain navy shorts may be worn with the blue polo shirt each day.
Medical Conditions
At the start of the new academic year, it is necessary that parents provide us with up-to-date information regarding any potentially serious allergy or your child may have, which necessitates the use of regular medication. Please contact the school or the class teacher to discuss this so that appropriate procedures may be put in place. Parents must sign an “Administration of Medication” form at the start of the school year, with details of any changes in their child’s medication, inhalers etc. This form is available from the school office. Make sure your child’s inhaler/medication is in date before sending it to the school.
Attendance at School
It is very important that your child attends school regularly. All absences must be explained, according to “ TUSLA” regulations, formerly (National Educational Welfare Board) It is not necessary to phone the office, please use the Aladdin app. In so far as it is possible, dental and medical appointments should be arranged for out of school hours. It is school policy that children arriving late or leaving early should be signed in/out by a parent or guardian. Notice for these events can be given on the app also.
Finances
We understand the stresses and strains of modern life and do our best to keep costs to a minimum.
Our school does not charge a ‘Voluntary Contribution‘ and any money paid goes directly back to your child for activities and resources used by your child.
We have a very good Book Rental System running in our school for the last number of years. This greatly reduces the costs to parents.
Our Parents Association are a fantastic support to us and contribute to outings by subsidising the cost of the busses, keeping costs down for parents.
Nevertheless, some families may still find the costs associated with school too much to bear. Please make a call to the office to discuss if you find yourself in this situation. All information will be dealt with in the strictest confidence.
