IMPORTANT NOTES FOR PARENTS
​
Drop off and collection of children:
Parents are asked not to come into the school yard at drop off or pick up time, teachers and SNAs will walk children to the top yard for collection. This is part of our Child Safeguarding. An exception to this is Junior Infant parents and new pupils on the first day only.
Communications with the school:
All communication with the school will be through the Aladdin system. We remind parents that teachers are unable to answer or might not see notification during teaching time, should you require an urgent response please contact the office.
Hot lunches:
As per last year we will continue to have Carambola providing a hot meal each day for the children, this will begin on Thursday. Junior Infants will start hot lunches on Monday 8th September. New children will receive a code in the first few days to sign up if they wish.
Should you have any other queries or questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the office.
Aladdin communications
Please note communications on Aladdin will only be received by staff between the hours of 8am and 4pm, from Monday to Friday.
