Parent/Teacher Meetings: The meetings will be held over 2 days, (Tuesday 22nd & Thursday 24th November). In an effort to eliminate “waiting time” for parents we will introduce a new system this year. Every parent will be allocated specific times for their children which will make it possible to meet a number of teachers (if necessary) in one visit. Parents will receive a separate note today informing them of all the details they require.
It is crucial that parents arrive on time for their appointment.
Homework Club: There will be no homework club on the days of the parent/teacher meetings (November 22nd & 24th).
Tin Whistle: Some changes for this week –
Friday group moves to Tuesday (tomorrow 15th)
Thursday group – no change.
1st Communion Meeting: (Parents only).
Thursday November 17th at 8pm in school sports hall.
Halloween Fancy Dress:The Parents Association would like to thank everybody for their contribution. Total raised – €379.
Parents Association AGM:
Officers for 2016/2017: Chairperson: Wendy Donoghue
Secretary: Jane Morrin
Treasurer: Wendy and Jane will act as joint treasurer.
In the “Principal’s Report” Mr. Moloney thanked the outgoing committee for their work in the previous year including their involvement in Green Schools, grandparents mass, First Penance, school calendar, graduation and the organisation of courses for parents relating to internet safety, jolly phonics, anti-bullying and positive parenting. It was also stated that if parents had issues or concerns that they should go directly to the school and not to the officers of the parents association.
In the Chairperson’s address Wendy thanked Mary Moore for her work as Treasurer over the past 3 years.
Positive Parenting Course: The course continues on Thursday night (17th) at the usual time. Parents who wish to attend the First Communion meeting can transfer at 8 pm.
