Hi All,

Welcome back to all our pupils, in particular, our new pupils and our lovely Junior Infants!

All are settled and getting to know new teachers and pupils. Welcome also to our new staff, Diarmuid, Eimear, Niamh and Áine who is in support

I was in the Junior Infant classes earlier and they were all settled and playing away!!  I hope the parents were less anxious after. I think it can be harder for the parents on day one!

The food company that supplies the lunches sent a small pack in for our Junior Infants. We will send this home with each child in JI as the pack has treats.

Reminder re pick-ups. Infants will come in for 8.45 tomorrow, not 9am.
