Catholic Schools Week  (Jan 29th – Feb 2nd)
Two teachers and three pupils will represent the school in Carlow Cathedral tomorrow (Wednesday) at the launch of Catholic Schools Week 2018. 

A reminder that Grandparents Mass (including parents!) will be celebrated on Wednesday 31st January at 1.30 pm (details to follow). Children will be able to leave immediately after the mass if collected. The Parents Association are kindly providing refreshments afterwards and are looking for volunteers to help out. If you can lend a hand please ring the school office and let us know. Thank you.

Homework Club
There will be no homework club this Wednesday (17th January).

Opening Hours
Just a reminder re. the existing situation: the school opens to receive pupils each day at 9:15 a.m. As has been the case up to now, no responsibility is accepted by the Board of Management for pupils arriving before 9 a.m. Classes end each day at 3 p.m. (2 p.m. for Junior & Senior Infants). If a child is finishing at that time and being collected, parents should make their own arrangements for this and the person collecting them should be at the school not later than 3 p.m. (2 p.m. for Infants). The Board cannot accept responsibility for the children after that time. On the rare occasion where the person collecting has been unavoidably delayed, please let us know as is currently the case. Thank you for your cooperation and for your patience with regard to parking at the school.

Enrolment 2018/19
Parents who have already given their child’s name to the school will receive an enrolment form in the next couple of weeks. Please return the form promptly because we need to prepare for next year. If your child is due to start school in September and you haven’t already let us know, please contact the school office immediately at 059 – 862 5195.

Thank you for your support as always.
