Homework Club
The school has started a homework club for a 6 week trial period, on Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesdays, from 1st – 6th class. The idea behind the club is that children will be supervised
after school for an hour to do their homework free from the normal, everyday distractions.

Head Lice
It has been brought to our attention that head lice is in the school. Please check your child’s
hair. If everyone does not treat their child appropriately it will keep recurring. We have had a
lot of complaints from parents.

Uniforms
Please ensure your child wears appropriate uniform daily. After washing please check your
child’s name is clearly marked on all jumpers.

Parking
Reminder: Please ensure that you park in designated parking areas during drop off and pick up
times. This issue has come up at Board of Management level on numerous occasions and
children’s safety is at risk.
