Update Covid-19

Dear Parents and Carers,

Following the Prime Minister’s briefing yesterday afternoon, it is important that weshare with you the changes in the Government’s advice concerning Coronavirus.

First and foremost:

If your child or any other person in your household has a persistent cough or fever, everyone living in your household must stay at home for 14 days.

Please do not send your child into school any earlier than the recommended period of isolation.

We are fully aware of the (understandably) high levels of anxiety. For this reason, wewould suggest that if you are in any doubt and are concerned about the health and well-being of your child or your familystay off school. It is important that you keep the school office informed of any absence.

Please be advised that there will be no Rosary on Friday morning. A & J Soccer and MAD have both been cancelled for the foreseeable future.

Parents on the playground

To minimise contact, please avoid remaining on the playground before and after school. As soon as your child is dismissed, exit the premises as quickly as possible.

Office

Please do not come to the school office unless it is absolutely necessary; email any queries or telephone directly. You will receive regular updates by email and school website.

Should the school be closed, staff are working extremely hard to prepare activities that can be accessed from home. You will be signposted to appropriate websites via dBprimary. All pupils will receive some hard copies in addition to online learning.

Thank you for your continued support.

Yours sincerely,

Maria Conlon

Headteacher
