Dear Parents
Tús maith leath na hoibre and our pupils have made a great start . It’s brilliant to see the way they have settled back into the school routine so quickly . Well done to Mams and Dads for preparing them so well . Please see some notices for your attention.
Komeer
Most parents are now receiving notifications from the school via the app called KOMEER. In addition to downloading the new app it is important to ALLOW notifications in your settings .It is our intention to deliver all notifications from the school through this app . If you have any difficulties downloading the app or viewing notifications please e-mail: help@komeer.com
Parents Association A.G.M.
The Parents Association AGM will take place on Wednesday 13th September at 8p.m. in the school . You are invited to attend .
Football
Football coaching started back this week . All classes from 3rd to 6th will be involved in either internal leagues or Cumann na mBunscol competitions . Children are reminded to bring their gum shields each Tuesday and Thursday . We have also asked both the girls and boys to wear togs in to school underneath tracksuits . They are also requested to wear their school t-shirt . This reduces the need for unnecessary changing into other gear , gear being lost etc etc .

We had our first assembly of the new school year on Friday morning . Ms. Maher’s Junior Infants came in to say hello and all the boys and girls were delighted to see them .
