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.
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.
Parent’s
Association:
I would like
to thank our Parent’s Association for organising the calendar and selling of
school Christmas Cards! I want to
especially thank Siobhan Russell who did a fantastic job on short notice in
relation to the calendar. There was an
awful lot of work put into these ideas by the group and I sincerely appreciate
everyone’s effort. We are currently
looking for more interested parents to get involved with this group. Please contact Deirdre here in school over
the next few days if you would like to put your name forward.
Punctuality
in the morning:
I want to
remind everyone that if your child is ten minutes late each morning , this will
add up to 50 minutes per week of lost school time. It’s an important skill to teach your children
and I would appreciate you ensured that your child/ren are on time for school
each day.
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.
Zumba Dance
Lessons:
As part of
our Health Promotion here in Scoil Bhríde, we have a visiting Zumba Teacher who
will take from Senior infants to 6th classes on Friday 16th
and 23rd January. The cost of
these lessons is €2 per pupil, which you might send in during the week please.
Yours in
co-operation,
Séamus
