Parents’ Newsletter

22nd January 2015.

Dear Parents,

First of all a belated Happy New Year to everyone.  I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all, parents, pupils and staff for the warm and friendly welcome I have received over the past few weeks.  I look forward to working with you and getting to know you better.  My door is always open, so if you have any concern or query, please do not hesitate to call in or contact me.

Safety First Always.

The safety of your child is our priority, therefore we would like to remind you of the car park arrangements and once again ask for everyone’s co-operation.

  • The SET DOWN area is strictly no parking – it is a drop off area only.
  • Entrance only at the church gate and exit only by the school gate.
  • There is a one-way system in the car park. Please observe the arrows.
  • Parents should not park in the staff car park in front of the eco rooms. This is for the safety of children and parents walking up the main path to the school.
  • Please keep to the footpaths and do not take short cuts across the field.
  • It has come to our notice that some people are using the car park for long term parking. This is strictly not allowed as it is intended to use the car park as an additional play area for children at the break times.

Arriving at / Leaving School

School starts at 9.20a.m. for all children and finishes at 2pm for infants and 3pm for 1st – 6th class.

  • Children should not arrive on the school grounds before 9.10am.
  • For safety reasons, all school doors will be closed at 9.30am. Pupils arriving after this time must enter through the main doors.  Any child arriving after 9.40am must be signed in at the office.  This will come into effect from Monday, 26th
  • If you need to collect a child early for any reason, please sign child out at the office. Please do not collect children from the playground without notifying the office.
  • All children must be collected on time – it can be very upsetting for a child who is not collected.

Communion/Confirmation Enrolment Mass

The Confirmation Enrolment Mass for parents and children takes place on Saturday, 24th of January at 6p.m.  The Enrolment Mass for the parents and children of the First Communion classes takes place on Sunday, 25th January at 10.30a.m.

Reminders:

  • Reminder that the school is strictly a non smoking area and also no dogs are allowed on the premises whether on a lead or not.
  • Reminder to please inform the office of any changes of phone numbers or addresses.
  • If you require any letters from the office you must give at least one weeks notice.

 

Other Notices

Clothes Collection:  With the money from the last clothes collect a piece of equipment for Power Hour was purchased for the school.

The next clothes collection will be on Friday, 6th of February 2015.  You can drop off any bags from Monday the 2nd February in the middle room beside the Parents Room.  Thank you for your continued support.

P.E. Equipment is being bought for the school with the proceeds from the Christmas Fair.  We are very grateful to the Parents Association.

Book Fair:  Thanks to everyone who supported the Bookfair in the school hall before Christmas.  The Library Committee are delighted to say that €2,800 was raised for new books for the library.

Home/School/Community Liaison

Knitting Classes continue in the Parents’ Room at 9.30 every Monday.  Easter chicks are being knit and will be sold before Easter for Barrettstown.

English Language classes began last Tuesday at 9.30a.m. in the Parents’ Room.  They will continue weekly until Easter.  There are still places.

Operation Transformation is growing in strength in Holy Rosary.  We meet every Wednesday at 9.30a.m. for weigh-in  (optional), recipes and a walk.  Parents can join any time.  Linking in with this a six week course on Healthy Eating Made Easy will begin on Thursday, February 5th at 9.30a.m. in the Parents’ Room.  Every participant will get a handbook and recipes will be demonstrated.  A dietician will give a talk during the course.

The Parent Toddler group meets every Friday at 9.30am in the Parents’ Room.

Yours sincerely,

Dolores Kelly,
