Dear Parents/Guardians,

We hope you are well and enjoying the current spell of fine weather. Our news is as follows

• For the school year 2018/19 we will have nine class teachers, four Special Education teachers and one shared Special Education teacher. As we have a much smaller Junior Infant class enrolled for the coming year we will only have one Junior Infants next year. We will leave the current Juniors as two classes for their Senior Infant year and they will become one class in First Class. The following teachers are allocated to classes

• School tours started this week with three classes going on tour. Seniors went to Dreamland in Limerick on Tuesday while Juniors went there yesterday. Both classes had a great time and enjoyed the slide, the airplane and the castle! First Class went to Ennis Gymnastics club and bowling yesterday and they too had a lovely day out.
