Newsletter May 22nd
*First Holy Communion takes place next Saturday 27th May at 11am. Children and their families and relatives are invited back to the school for refreshments afterwards.
*We would ask parents of children in first class to bring in some buns/cakes etc. for after communion refreshments. Each child will be asked to bring a specific item tomorrow. These can be dropped to the school office on Friday. We would love if any parents are around to help serve these refreshments. Please contact the school office or any member of the parents association if you are available.
*We would appeal to everyone, (children and parents) not to enter the school grounds through either of the two car parks at any time during the school day. We had a very near miss last week when two children ran in through the car park and were narrowly missed by a reversing car. If parents are pushing a buggy we would still ask them to enter through the two pedestrian entrances.
*We have a meeting for our incoming junior infants and their parents on Wednesday 15th June at 2pm.
*Reminder if children are wearing shorts with their uniform they should be grey in classes 1st-6th and navy on PE days and navy in Junior and Senior Infants.
*Swimming continues this week for 2nd and 3rd classes and Solas Senior.
*We are currently organising music lessons for next year. If anyone new is interested, please contact the school office on 045401495. This year lessons cost €210 but we have been informed that there will be an increase of at least €50 next year. We haven’t been given a definite price yet.
Instruments offered are piano, guitar and flute.
*We have been asked to close the school on Monday 19th June at 12 noon to facilitate inservice training for the Primary Curriculum Framework.
