10th November 2021
Dear parents,
Here are some updates for your information.
School Calendar 2022:
Thanks to all of you for helping and ensuring the children brought their items of clothing and props to school to take photos for the different months. The photos will be great! Thanks also to those of you who have taken ads for the calendar. We now have our 12 ads and so have enough as it looked like we weren't going to get 24.
If you haven't already returned the slip of paper (received yesterday) saying how many calendars you wish to order, please do so tomorrow, Thursday. You do not have to pay for the calendars now, we just want to know how many to order.
We hope to have the calendars back from the printers for distribution in the first week of December.
Christmas Annuals:
Please return the order slips for the Folens Christmas Annuals by Friday if you haven't already done so as they need to be ordered. The price per annual again is €4.
Cork Bike Week Colouring Competition:
Congratulations to Milly O'Donoghue and Ryan Atalay on winning prizes in the colouring competition in October for Cork Bike Week. They received a nice bag of goodies for their efforts!
Cycle Sense Training:
Cycle Sense will begin for 5th & 6th class children on this Friday and run for 6 sessions. The children can bring in their own bikes for this if they wish but bikes will be provided by the tutors in any case so there is no obligation to bring your own.
Parent - Teacher Meetings:
Our Parent - Teacher meetings will again take place by phone this year and will take place for the mainstream class teachers during the week beginning Monday, November 22nd. We are finalising times at present and trying to avoid clashes where we have siblings in different rooms. We will email out finalised times to each family in the coming days.
Primary Language School Closure:
Our school is in the Sustained Support for the Primary Language Curriculum Program this year, which has been deferred since the COVID pandemic arrived. To facilitate training for this, the school will be closed on Friday, December 10th. Please make a note of this date and we will remind you of it closer to the date.
Blue & White Day for Castlehaven Ladies Team in County Final:
Can all the children please dress up in Blue & White on this Friday to support the Castlehaven Ladies Football team who are in the County Junior A Final on Saturday in CIT against Dunmanway. Our own Miss Whelton, who has been in the school since September, is playing and we wish her and the team every success in the final!!!
Kind regards,
Brendan McCarthy
Principal
