Dear Parents:

Lots of
exciting things happening in school: preparing for our concerts and
carol-singing.

We thank you
for attending our Parent-Teacher meetings.

The Parent’s Association met on Tuesday, 18th November and

our meetings.

It is school
policy to make an appointment at the office should you wish to meet/speak to a
class teacher. Please do not approach
class teachers when they are teaching their class.
v
Thank you for
being so good about sending children into the hall alone and then leaving the
school. We ask you to please remain outside the school gate until the Principal
opens the gate.
v
If you have a
child starting school in September 2015 or if you know someone who has, please
make sure that s(he) is enrolled. Our classes are almost full. Forms are
available in the office.

After-School activities come to an end this week. Please
collect at the normal time – 2.30pm next week.

The Board of Management’s annual review of the school’s Child

We extend
‘Seasons Greetings’ to all of our families. We have enjoyed working with you
during 2014 and look forward to an exciting 2015.
