Dear Parents/ Guardians,

It’s difficult to express how much I and the staff have appreciated your exceptional support this first eight weeks. It must have been very hard for you and a very anxious time, those first few weeks after summer. Thank you for having confidence in us to keep your children safe.  There was not one parent who complained about our staggered arrivals and departure and our adult-free playground rule. That was not easy for any of you or the little ones… coming and going and waiting. There was always a smile at the gate and thumbs up of support.

I was personally   bowled over by the parents’ understanding and co-operation when children had to go home for the 48 hrs when they presented with possible Covid signs. There was not one parent who complained, even when it proved very difficult as they may have had to take time off work. That was very uplifting for me to see such selfless behaviour to keep all our children and staff safe.

You must all be doing an exceptional job at home as the HSE has not had to close down any class in our school. I hope we will continue with the same record after Halloween. You and your children are the life-blood of our school. So on behalf of a grateful staff let me thank you most sincerely. Do, if you get a chance, give your child’s teacher or SNA a wee thanks or thumbs up this afternoon. Without their adherence 100% to our school Covid Response Plan the school wouldn’t have lasted a week. 

You know how highly I regard you all and care about your welfare. I think you are a great community and I’m proud to be part of it and to serve you all to the best of my ability. God Bless. Enjoy Halloween.. and Keep Safe.
