Dear Parents,
I hope you and your families are all well and the children are enjoying their summer. As you will be aware from the media, long-awaited guidance has been issued to schools regarding the safe reopening of schools in late August/September. There will be changes ahead, but the teachers and staff will work to have school life as normal as we can for the children, while doing everything we can to ensure everyone is as safe as possible.
Every school context is different, and so each school will need to work with this guidance according to their school profile. The school management and staff will be working on a plan over the coming weeks regarding the reopening of our school and I will share this with you when we have more information. There are still unanswered questions and the Department will be liaising further with schools over the coming weeks.
In the meantime, please reassure your children that going back to school (or starting school for the first time!) is a really positive thing. There will be a period of readjustment after such a lengthy time out of school life, and we will support children through this transition back to school.
Yours sincerely,
Laura Kelly
Principal
