Principals Update 22/9/23
Dear Parents,
I have some important items to bring to your attention:
Parent Teacher Meetings:
All class teachers posted details re start of year parents’ meetings. Please read and indicate to the teacher if you will be attending. We have a lot that we need to share with you.
Making contact with school
If a matter is urgent please contact the school office as teachers will be teaching during the day and may not see a Seesaw message posted by a parent re collection arrangements at the end of the school day until the day is over- resulting in confusion all round.
The school office is ‘manned’ between 8.15 and 4.30 Mon – Thurs and 8.15- 3.30 on Friday.
Alternatively email me on mmonaghan771@c2kni.net and I will respond as soon as possible.
If you wish to contact a teacher re a less important/urgent matter etc. please be aware that teachers will be accessing Seesaw from 8.45 – 9 and 3-3.45 only and possibly not even during those times depending on the day. They will only be responding to messages during those windows. Again, messages may not always be picked up so if the matter is urgent, please contact school office.
Family Masses
Our parish priests are eager to have more families attend mass and are planning to have a family mass- please see letter below.
Great effort will be taken to make the mass more child friendly so it would be lovely to see you attend.
I wish you all a happy weekend,
Yours in partnership,
Mrs Monaghan
Two of our P7 Digital Leaders say
"We think this is an interesting article about Roblox because sometimes it is inappropriate or violent. Some games can be gory and some are just inappropriate for younger children under the age of 8 or 9. Some users can have inappropriate avatars and say inappropriate things. So this post is quite reasonable and informative."

A family mass will be held once a month in St Brigid’s ……..



Medication in School
New Medical Forms need to be completed each year if your child takes any medication at any time throughout the school day.
These forms are available at the school office or on our website in the Parents menu.
When completed, please ensure the medication is left at the school office and this will be given to the First Aide.
If your child uses an Epi-pen, please ensure 2 new Epi-pens are left into the school office tomorrow. These are to be in a box, labelled with the child’s name, class teacher and a photograph of the child. A medical form will also need to be completed and submitted with up-to-date Care Plan.
If your child has a Care Plan for any other condition, please leave this in the office together with a completed Medical Form.
Please feel free to contact the office if you have any queries.
Important
NUT ALLERGIES
Please do not send any types of foods containing any type of nuts into school for lunches as we have children with severe nut allergies. These items include biscuits and bars with a nutella type filling or croissants containing hazlenuts or any other types of nuts.
We cannot allow products in school if the label states; "may contain traces of nuts."
Food containing any types of nut product will have to be confiscated.
Can all parents please check the labels on food being sent into school to ensure there are no traces of nuts.
We have been advised by the Allergy Nurse not to accept Horse Chestnuts / Conkers.
Please help keep children safe while in St Clare's Abbey.
Prosimy nie dawacać dzieciom do szkoły żadnych rodzajów żywności zawierających jakiekolwiek orzechy, ponieważ mamy dzieci z silnymi alergiami na orzechy. Artykuły te obejmują herbatniki i batoniki z nadzieniem typu nutella lub rogaliki zawierające orzechy laskowe lub jakikolwiek inny rodzaj orzechów.
Żywność zawierająca wszelkie rodzaje orzechów będzie musiała zostać skonfiskowana.
