Newsletter 7th December 2017

Parking
There is ample parking in the “Junior Play Area” at 3pm to avoid the need for double parking. This is not allowed at any time because it can be dangerous for the children. Please ensure also that you do not leave your car unattended in the drop off area. Your co-operation is appreciated.

Homework Club
Homework club will finish for this term on Thursday 14th December. Happy Christmas and see you all again in the New Year!

Christmas
The teachers have organised various activities/outings for their classes this year, in part to fill the gap left by the Panto. While the Panto has had its day, we do not envisage that these outings will become an annual event because we are conscious of the costs for families, particularly at this time of the year. An infant Christmas show will take place on Wednesday 20th December at 12:30 in the school hall. Hope to see you all there!

School Calendar
Will soon be on sale at the school office and Centra, price €7. This is a nice keepsake and looking back at previous calendars it is interesting to note how much the children have changed over the years.
