Dear Parents/Guardians,
Standardised Tests
Standardised tests will be administered to the pupils in 1st-6th class this week – Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Information on interpreting the STEN scores in the tests was e-mailed to parents/guardians last week.
New Junior Infants
The new Junior Infants (starting school in September 2025) and their parents/guardians are invited to the school on Wednesday June 4th from 1.15pm to 2pm.
The present Junior and Senior Infants will be going home at 12 Noon on that day to facilitate the visit of our new pupils.
School Tours
All classes are going on school tours on June 20th. The cost of each tour was outlined in last week’s letter. The school tours can be paid via Aladdin. If you would like to pay by cash please send in the money in an envelope with your child’s name on it.
70th Anniversary
We will be celebrating the 70th Anniversary of the school on Friday June 6th. In 2010 the children in Rathfeigh N.S. put artwork, stories etc into Time Capsules at the rear of the school at the fountain. These will be opened next week which the children are eagerly looking forward to. Over the next week or so the children will be working on their own Time Capsules which will then be opened at some stage in the future (possibly at the 80th Anniversary).
In the afternoon on June 6th there will be a cake sale organised by the Parents’ Association. We would like to invite parents/guardians to the school as there will be a great selection of cakes/buns on sale. The children can also get involved in buying the buns/cakes. Our sixth class pupils will be in charge of the cake stalls on the day.
‘Re-Turn’ Bottles/Cans
Thanks to everyone, over the course of the year, who contributed to the success of the ‘Re-turn’ scheme. We will be purchasing ‘games’ for each classroom with the money received. Over the next few days we will be discussing with the children in each class the ‘games’ they would like to purchase for their classroom.
Is Mise
