Pupils may dress up on Thursday 23rd for Hallowe'en. They can wear their normal clothes or dress up in a costume. Remember to wear sensible shoes and have a warm jacket. Any makeup must be put on your child at home

Please ensure that all cards and monies are returned to the school by Wednesday, 22nd October.

Every sponsorship card returned will be entered into a special draw, with fantastic prizes to be won in each class!

All funds raised will go directly towards purchasing art supplies and classroom resources to support creativity and learning throughout the school.

We still have plenty of great costumes to choose from! Pop by the office.

Thank you for helping us reuse and recycle this Halloween! 🎃

A Christmas Shoebox is a gift built by you and sent by Team Hope. Leaflets will be sent home with pupils today. We ask that all boxes be brought to the school before Wednesday. A lovely way for children to think of others.

A chairde,

My name is Jenny from Gaelscoil Online. I founded Gaelscoil Online to help parents with the Irish language at home. Many parents in Gaelscoileanna communities want support to use Irish at home and to feel more confident helping with homework.

Parents tell me every year that I should let schools know about the Irish for Parents Resource Hub, so that you can share it with parents. I’ve attached a short PDF with more information.

I’ve set it up so that every parent has 7 days of free access to the Hub. No card or payment is needed. They can simply sign up, explore the resources, and if they wish, join later. The link to join this is here or on the PDF attached; https://www.gaelscoilonline.com/offers/xLS2fPRS/checkout

On gaelscoilonline.com, you’ll also find more details about the Resource Hub, the Speak Irish at Home mini-course, and the free Quickstart Guide. The Quickstart Guide is short and practical, giving parents an easy start with Irish at home.

I thought it would be helpful to share this at the start of the school year, as it supports parents and would be of real value to your school community. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Best regards,
Jenny
