Parking Regulations
The school has grown so much that there is no parking facility for any parents, except those who have parking permits in the set-down area at the front of the school during drop-off and collection times.
There is no parking in the staff car parks.
 
These regulations are in place for the safety of our children and the school community and must be observed, without exception. Failure to comply with these will result in the gates being closed at collection times.

 
 
HEAD LICE
 
We have outbreaks of Head Lice in almost every class in the school. It is vital that every child is treated this weekend.
It is very important that you carry out these treatments to prevent any further outbreaks.  Unless everyone in the class is checked and treated lice will continue to spread through the class. There are several remedies available over the counter; please ask your pharmacy for details. It's important to conduct regular weekly checks for head lice by checking for head lice on the same day and time every week and repeating treatment as necessary. If your child has long hair please ensure that it is tied up to prevent the spread of the Lice.  For further information on Head Lice and how to treat it please see www.headliceadvice.ie.
Please keep the teacher informed of any outbreaks of lice.

Thank you for your co-operation with the above.
