January Newsletter 2022
Welcome back to school. We trust everyone enjoyed their Christmas holiday and had a fun family time. We hope you are all rejuvenated for the New Year.
On behalf of all staff members, I wish to say a huge thank you for your extremely generous Christmas gifts. We really appreciate your kindness and good wishes.
The latest strain of Omicron/Covid manifests itself in slightly different way to the original coronavirus, which is often difficult to differentiate form the common cold without testing. If your child or anyone in your house displays any cold/flu like symptoms please keep your child at home until you have tested and that test is negative. Free antigen tests may be ordered on the HSE website: www2.hse.ie/conditions/covid19/testing/get-tested/ if you are aged between 4 and 39 and have Covid symptoms.
