Dear Parent(s)/ Guardian(s),
I hope you and your families are keeping well.
As you are aware, our school has been closed since 12th March due to the COVID-19 situation. We are now hoping to re-open our school safely, in line with current guidance and recommendations.
Re-opening the school safely will require the co-operation of all members of our School Community – Board of Management, School Leadership, Staff, Parents and Students. We will all be called on to play our part in ensuring that re-opening of the school is done in a safe manner which prevents the spread of the virus and allows the vital work of Teaching and Learning to proceed with as little disruption as possible.
We have been working on our plan for the safe reopening of the school for some weeks now and are following the DES COVID-19 Response Plan for the Safe and Sustainable Reopening of Primary and Special Schools. The Response Plan gives details of
- Physical preparation, signage, hand sanitiser stations,
- Advice, procedures and training for the safe return to working in the school for all school staff and pupils
- General and specific advice on how all pupils, staff, parents and visitors will prevent the spread of the virus
We have published our COVID-19 Policy Statement on the school website along with the information required by you to play your part in safely re-opening the school. We have also emailed these documents to those parents who have provided us with an email address.
We are really looking forward to welcoming our children back to school and will be doing all that we can to ensure that the return to school is a safe and enjoyable experience for the children.
Le meas’
