Well done to the children from the Senior Room who sang in Drumholm Church this morning and thank you to all those who came along and joined us.  Thank you also to the ladies of the Mothers' Union who provided everyone with a very welcome cup of tea!

Condolences

We extend our sincere sympathy and offer our condolences to Myra Doherty following the death of her husband Jim.  We also extend our sympathy to his family and extended family, both to those family members who are current parents or pupils and those who were part of our school community in years past.

Cold Weather

7/1/2016

Hopefully there will be no disruptive weather this year, but as a precaution please take time to read the following.  We will make every effort to ensure that school is open for the children, regardless of the severity of the weather. Please assume that school will be open unless you are informed otherwise.  

  • Text messages and Facebook will be the main point of contact with parents but please also keep an eye on the school website and listen to local radio.  Please make sure that we have an up to date mobile number for you.  
  • It may be necessary to delay the opening time for school - you will be notified by text message as early as possible if this is the case.  
  • Most staff members have long journeys to make in the mornings and may be delayed by the weather too, so please make sure that someone is in school before leaving children at the gate.
  • I have no input with regard to the school buses.  The decision not to drive is made by the drivers themselves. McGloin's hope to make contact with myself and Aveen McGuinness if the bus is not running.  Please note that Bus Eireann buses will not operate if there is a Red Weather Alert. 
  • If you are unable to make the journey safely at your normal time, please let us know.  I am keen that every effort will be made to get children to school, albeit later than normal.
  • Please make sure that the children are bringing warm coats, hats and gloves to school. The playground can be very cold.
