As part of DEIS we have a HSCL position in our cluster of schools in Tullow.  This role has enabled a teacher to step out of the classroom to focus on working with parents and becoming the link between the two most important worlds in a child’s life. This position known as HSCL means that instead of working with the children, Deirdre Fleming will now work with you, the parents/ guardians of the children in our community to help them settle into school, enjoy and give their best in school and become the best that they can be. She will be available to support you in any way she can around any issues that may affect your child’s education.

Deirdre would like to meet all available parents/guardians of our school here on the morning of 26th September @ 9am.  Tea/coffee and some treats will be in the Nurture Room so please pop in after you drop your child to school and enjoy something sweet on us!

 

Deirdre can be contacted by

  • Dropping into the parents room in the old boys primary school building
  • By email at msfleming@tullowboysns.ieor
  • by phone on 086 9876960

Welcome back to everyone in our school community. we hope you all had a wonderful summer and are enjoying the currently sunny weather.

A few reminders before the return to school:

1. The gates will be open at 8.50am with class starting at 9am. An adult will be at the gate each morning to welcome the children into school. Strictly no adults are permitted into the playground or classrooms- this is both a health and safety and child protection measure.

2. Please take the time to ensure that your daughter knows what direction/class she will be going.

3. School hot meals have begun. Please use the Lunch Club app and card provided to login and select menu preferences.

4. Use the Aladdin link sent to your phone to pay the school contribution of €50 ( €30 for Music Generation and €20 for school resources).

5. School Uniform is a green pinafore or grey trousers with a white shirt and a green school jumper. Black footwear please. School tracksuit for PE is a navy trousers and navy jumper with a white t-shirt, runners of your choice.

6. If any of your details have changed over the Summer i.e new home address, phone number, medical details etc please let the school know asap by emailing info@smltullow.ie or sending in the information to the school.

7. Where possible please drop off/ pick up your daughter at a location away from the main school building e.g the Church carpark, as traffic will be very heavy both in the morning and evening.

8. Don’t forget to sign up top our school lotto here. We had lots of winners over the Summer who will all be receiving their prize upon our return to school.

Le meas,

Ms. Coen
