Parents/Guardians,
May I take
this opportunity to wish everyone a very happy and healthy New Year!! I’m delighted to see everyone returning to us
and ready for another term. With this
new term in mind, I want to raise a few house-keeping issues with you all.
Parent’s
Association:
I would like
to thank our new Parent’s Association for organising both Santa’s visit and the
selling of school Christmas Cards! There
was an awful lot of work put into these ideas by the group and I sincerely
appreciate everyone’s efforts.
Traffic
Issues:
May I remind
everyone that at no time is
any car permitted to park in our designated bus space. All of us together have worked hard to
introduce the effective measures which are now working quite well. However a simple thing as parking in the bus
zone brings us back to square one,
particularly on wet days. Our Board of
Management are in complete support of the idea of calling the Gardaí or passing
registration plate numbers to the authorities if this continues.
Medical issues:
At present
we have a child enrolled with us in Scoil Bhríde who for medical reasons must
not if at all possible come in contact with anyone who may have chicken pox or
measles. As this is a relatively new
situation for us, I am asking parents to be aware of this particularly if your
child exhibits the sympotms of chicken pox.
I also note that an unusual
number of instances of ‘head lice’ occurred before the Christmas break and I
again ask parents to be vigilent in relation to this matter. Finally, we have successfully implemented a
healthy eating policy here in Scoil Bhríde for a number of years and I want
this to be again supported by our parents/guardians at this time, particularly
after the holiday season.
Uniforms:
I’m delighted
with the respect being paid by the girls to tracksuit/uniform days as well as
to wearing school jackets to school each day.
May I ask parents to please ensure all your child’s items are clearly
labeled with their names. I also want to
remind everyone that our rules only allow either black or brown tights to be
worn with the school uniform.
