Dear Parents/Guardians,
Bí Cineálita Anti-Bullying Procedures
We had a very productive Bí Cineálta meeting last Friday with teachers, SNA’s, secretary and Parents’ Association members in attendance. This is an ongoing collaborative approach to drafting a new Anti-Bullying Policy. We hope to have the policy in place at the Board of Management meeting in June.
School Self-Evaluation Questionnaires
As part of our School Self-Evaluation in Well-being we asked parents/guardians to complete a questionnaire. The majority of parents/guardians have completed the questionnaire. If you haven’t yet completed the questionnaire please do so today as today is the closing date. The questionnaire only takes a few minutes to complete.
Trip to Fairyhouse Racecourse
The pupils in 5th/6th class will be visiting Fairyhouse Racecourse this Wednesday for an ‘Open Day’. They will be travelling by bus. If you haven’t yet paid please do so through the Aladdin link sent to parents/guardians last week. The bus is €15.
A consent form has been sent home today. This needs to be given back to Ms Kennedy tomorrow. If a pupil does not have the consent form back they will be excluded from photos. RTE will be there filming the event with their News2Day programme.
