    31st August 2017

    Dear Parents and Guardians,

    Id like to welcome you all back after what was hopefully a very restful summer break. As we start the new year Id
    like to remind you of a few key points for good order:

    Supervision in the morning is from 8.40am (the Board of Management does not provide supervision before
    this time)
    To arrange a meeting with your class teacher/principal please contact the office and a meeting will be
    arranged
    Communicate any concerns you have early with your childs class teacher so that they can be addressed at
    the earliest opportunity
    School uniform footwear is to be black or navy shoes (not runners). School track suit pants are to be plain
    navy (can be purchased from school office or elsewhere). Track suit day will be on Thursdays and Fridays
    this term.
    The New Healthy Eating Policy will be e-mailed to all parents, and Wednesday will remain treat day
    School absences require an absence slip (back of the 1 st 6th class homework journal) or an absence form for
    infants
    Please ensure that belongings and clothing are labelled.
    Track suits are available from the school office, some larger sizes are on order.

    Staff Changes
    As you may be aware, Ms Catherine Fleming has been appointed Principal at Scoil Aonghasa, we wish her all the best and
    thank her for her contribution to Vicarstown National School. We are in the process of appointing a replacement for Ms.
    Fleming. Ms. Mulcahy will be teaching the class until the end of September while this process takes place. I will now be
    taking over the role of SEN Teacher.
    New Junior Infants
    Our new junior infants are settling in so well and Mrs. Looney reports that they are doing great work. A big welcome
    to all of our new families to the school community. Junior infants will be finishing at 11.45am until Friday 15 th of
    September. They will move to the 1.30pm finish from Monday 18 th of September. This approach has proven to be
    very successful in integrating junior infant students.
    ASD Room
    We are delighted with our new Junior ASD Class, Rang Oriste. We'd like to welcome our new teacher, Teresa
    O'Mahony and SNA's Aisling Higgins and Ann Maria Corkery. Our new students and their families are settling in really
    well to our school community.

    Sports Field
    Our sports field is currently being renovated, it should be ready for the new year and I have been assured it will rival Croke
    Park. Thanks to the parents involved.

    Active School Flag


    We will be e-mailing survey an active schools survey to help us plan our years activities shortly.

    Sciath na Scol Training


    Training will start next Monday, bring the usual gear (including gum shield).

    Vegetable Garden
    Thanks to those families that helped maintain the vegetable garden over the summer holidays. We will be hoping to
    harvest over the coming weeks.

    Parent Invoices
    Parents invoices will be issued over the coming weeks. You will have the option to use e-payments for the first time this
    year. Please note that payment for the book scheme and homework journals will be included in the parents invoice this
    year.

    Homework club
    Homework club will resume on Monday the 4th of September. It will be run on Monday, Tuesdays and Thursday provided
    there is enough interest. The club is for 1st to 6th class and runs from 2.30 to 3.40pm. Cost is 4 per day and children are
    asked to let the school in the morning (or earlier) if they are attending as club cant run with only one student.

    School Milk
    The School Milk scheme will be available again from the 18th of September until 22nd of December. The cost of milk
    for this term will be 13 per child. Please fill out the attached slip and return it by 14 th of September if you wish your
    child to avail of milk.

    (Childs/Childrens Name/s) _______________________________________

    I wish my child to avail of school milk for the term September- December 2017.

    I enclose payment of __________ (13.00 per child)

    Signed__________________(Parent/Guardian)

    Peter Mulcahy,
    Principal
