Safety Issues
Opening and Closing Times
The school is open to receive pupils from 8.45a.m. The yard will be supervised from 8.50 a.m. No responsibility is accepted for pupils arriving before 8.50 a.m. Classes will commence each day at 9.00 a.m. No pupil should arrive later than 8.55 a.m. Classes for the children in Junior Infants and Senior Infants end at 1.40 p.m. Parents of these children are aware of their meeting point for collecting their child from the teacher. Classes will end each day at 2.40 p.m. for children in classes from First to Sixth. Parents who wish to collect their children should make arrangements to have them met at the end of the school path or car-park and the person to escort them should be at the school no later than 2.40 p.m. as the school cannot accept responsibility for children after that time.
Church Car-Park
Please advise the person collecting your child in the evenings to use only designated car-park spaces. The problem with parking has been largely alleviated due to the enforcing of rules re unauthorised personnel etc. Unauthorised cars will be clamped.
School Car-Park
Parents, please be advised that children need to follow the path around by the fence when entering and exiting the school. Please cross the car-park at the safety crossing only. Even when accompanying your child into or out of the school do please observe this important safety requirement to encourage good safety habits in your child. We would appreciate your co-operation with this important safety issue.
Medication
Parents, please advise the school if your child has any medical issues about which you need to alert the school and for which indemnity and information forms will need to be filled out. I would also remind parents that medication already in the office may be out-of-date and may need to be replaced.
