MEDICAL MATTERS – If your child is feeling unwell, (maybe he/she has vomited during the night or has a high fever), please do not send them him/her to school.
A member of the school community has been in contact with Rubella (German Measles). Should you be an expectant mother who has not been inoculated, please be aware that while Rubella is not prevalent, there are still incidences of this. You can never be too careful.

FESTIVAL OF LIGHT – The Festival of Light will be held on the 8th of December. The drumming band and classes are busily preparing for what is hoped will become an annual event. The Parents’ Association have a number of activities planned for the night. Please mark this in your diary and support this event.

GREEN SCHOOLS – We expect to have a Green schools inspection shortly. Please, please ensure that your child has a proper tuber ware lunchbox. Also it would be helpful if you could wrap his/her sandwich in tissue paper rather than tinfoil etc, as the tissue may be composted. Likewise please ensure your child has a proper reusable bottle or container for his/her drink.

CROSS COUNTRY – In conjunction with St. John the Evangelist School we are organising a cross country meeting on the 2nd December. All the primary schools in Lucan have been invited. We will shortly pick teams for this event.

HEAD LICE – is a regular occurrence in schools. Please continue to check for any signs and do report it to the school if you spot anything.
