Children should not attend school if they have symptoms of Covid 19.
Symptom profiles are available here www2.hse.ie/conditions/covid19/symptoms/overview/ and parents are advised to take a precautionary approach, particularly for children less able to articulate their symptoms, that if a child appears unwell, observe them at home and contact their GP as appropriate. Close contacts - If your child has been notified by HSE services that they are a close contact of a case of Covid-19, please adhere to the advice on the HSE website in relation to restricted movements and testing. Children under 13 years who are household close contacts must restrict their movements for 14 days and they are offered PCR testing at day 0 and day 10. On receipt of a day 10 not-detected PCR test result, they may exit restricted movements. Further information can be found at: https://www.hpsc.ie/a-z/respiratory/coronavirus/novelcoronavirus/guidance/educationguidance/ https://www2.hse.ie/conditions/covid19/ We thank you most sincerely for your continued support and we hope that the coming year will be a happy and healthy one for all.

Welcome back everyone and Happy New Year! We hope it's a good one for all.  Dear Parent,
Just a quick reminder about the Team Hope Christmas Shoebox Appeal. Shoeboxes must be returned to the school on or before Friday 5th November 2021.

Dear parents,
There is a webinar taking place on Wednesday the 3rd of November at 7pm called The importance of sleep for our national school children. The main speaker is Lucy Wolfe and she will be giving some information and guidance around this topic. You can register for this free webinar using this link: https://event.webinarjam.com/channel/PlanetYouthSleep, or through the www.planetyouth.ie website. Parents can also submit questions on the night or in advance by email to events@planetyouth.ie. Well done to all the children who competed in the Cross Country event held in Ballinrobe last week. Best of luck to all who will go on to the finals in Ballina.
We'll be delighted to welcome Rory as he walks through Ballinrobe today and support him on the final leg of his journey. To mark Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, Rory will be shining a light on the experiences of children and young people by ‘walking a mile in their shoes’ or in this case, walking an epic 180 miles from Daisy Lodge in Co. Down to the site of Cancer Fund for Children’s new short break centre in Co. Mayo.  Welcome back everyone! We are delighted to see you all and a big welcome to our new Junior Infants. Please see the links below with some relevant information for your year level.

It's great to hear the sounds of children playing in the yard and having fun in their classrooms. We are looking forward to an action packed, safe and productive last term. Check in for updates and photos of important events!  giy.ie/campaigns/grow-it-forward/ The pandemic has seen a record number of people turn to growing their own food and discovering the joy and pride that brings. The process of seeing a seed turn into a seedling and eventually food you can eat is full of magic and no shortage of optimism. Grow it Forward is all about sharing that feeling as far and wide as possible at a time when we need it most. That’s why we’re inviting people to get free seeds and do good deeds. – Michael Kelly, Founder of GIY  |
