Dear Parents and Guardians / A Thuismitheoirí agus a Chaomhnóirí,

 

Welcome Back Trish!

We are delighted to have Trish back and encourage pupils to cross Griffith Avenue at the pedestrian crossing with Trish, and where possible, to avoid crossing just outside the busy main car entrance. From Monday, the pedestrian gate will open 5 minutes before school starts i.e. 8.35am, allowing members of the school community to gather inside the school grounds. As before, once the chime goes at 8.40am, pupils and parents continue on to classrooms/bike shed.

We are very grateful to Lisa and all the parents involved in the road safety rota over the last month for kindly giving up their time.
