Team Hope Christmas Shoe Box Appeal

Dear Parents,

As you are aware, we in Scoil an Chroí Ró-Naofa promote the Team Hope Shoe Box Appeal every year, in conjunction with Anne Marie Quinlan from St Mary’s Avenue.

This year, due to the Covid-19 restrictions, it is not possible to send gift-filled shoe boxes from Ireland.

Although this year may be different, the need for shoe box gifts is more important than ever, and we will have the opportunity to support the appeal ONLINE.

Christmas Shoebox Appeal week runs from 9^th – 15^th November, and we will send a reminder then.

In the meantime, if you would like to read further information about the appeal, the website is www.TeamHope.ie

Thank you for your co-operation and help.

Letter at Hallowe'en

22^nd October 2020

Hallowe’en 2020

Dear Parents,

As we draw to the midterm break there are a few messages we would like to send.

Firstly, a big thank you to all who have helped in getting our school open and running for the first half term. It has been a serious team effort from all; children, parents, staff, Board of Management. We have had great support from everyone. The children have been great.

• Hallowe’en: We are having Trick or Treat for Temple Street tomorrow. Children can dress up and come to schools in their costumes. However, with Covid restrictions, it is not possible to have accessories with costumes as these are all touch points. Therefore, no hats (sorry witches!), swords, wands etc. Children can have their faces painted coming into school as part of their costume!
• Morning and Evening: Entering and leaving the school has been going well so far. With the move to Level 5 restrictions we would suggest that people dropping and collecting children might wear masks or visors to protect each other. We would also remind everyone to continue to keep good social distancing and to drop/pick and go as quickly as possible. We would also remind that 8.45 am is the time from which we provide supervision for the children and this is the earliest time we ask people to drop children at school.
• The weather has definitely turned in the last fortnight, so please ensure every child has a coat at school each day. We will strive to ensure children get fresh air during the school day so it is important children have their coats in school.
• With a ten day break at Hallowe’en, teachers are planning to use the break to have a shuffle of the pods in their classes. We will inform you of the new pods before November 2^nd.
• Parent-Teacher Meetings would normally take place within three weeks of the return from Hallowe’en break. However, they will not take place before the end of this year and we will review this in January.

Again, thanks for all your co-operation and have an enjoyable and safe midterm break.

Yours sincerely,

Dermot Dunphy

Principal
