Parent-Teacher Meetings
The meetings will be held over 2 days next week; Tuesday 27th & Thursday 29th November. Every parent has been allocated specific times for their children that will make it possible to meet a number of teachers (if necessary) in one visit. You should have received a separate note informing you of the details. It is important that parents arrive on time for their appointment.
Homework Club
There will be no homework club next week (26th– 30thNovember).
Parents Association AGM
This meeting took place on Monday 12th November in the school. Many thanks to those who were in attandence. We are lucky to have such a well-meaning and supportive group of parents in this school!
Aistear Programme for Infants
Our Infant Classes are taking part in the Aistear programme. Aistear is an initiative for learning through play. As part of this, they visited the ‘pop-up café’ in the old school where they could practice their reading and social skills, all while having some fun! Thanks to those staff involved in organising and helping.
Staff News
Congratulations again to the new Mrs. Donnelly (formerly Ms. Farrell) on her recent marriage. We have ‘lost’ two Ms. Farrells in the space of a few months!
Attendance & Punctuality
It is important to use the ‘Record of Absence’ notes towards the back of the Student Journal if your child has been absent or is going to be absent from school. This is the best way to inform your child’s teacher who needs to know the reason for any absence. Please ensure that your child is on time for school in the mornings and if s/he needs to leave early do let us know in advance. Thank you for your cooperation.
Christmas Carol Service
Pupils from 1st– 6thClasses will be taking part in a Carol Service in Ballylinan Church on the nights of Tuesday 11thand Wednesday 12thDecember. Due to the large numbers involved, we will divide the children into two groups, one on each night. Details to follow.
Ballylinan N.S. Food Appeal
Following on from last year’s efforts we will be holding our food appeal again this Christmas. We’ll issue further details in the coming weeks.
