Dear Parent(s),
Easter Holidays: we will close at 3pm on Friday 26th of March and re open on Monday 12th April.
Bank Holiday Closures: School will be closed on Tuesday 4th May and Friday 4th of June.
Thank You: The Board of Management and staff of Scoil Phádraig, Drumkeen, would like to thank all our pupils and parents for their ongoing support. We have enjoyed a successful reopening since the 1st of March. We wish to thank the parents for playing an important role in ensuring this success. We hope to continue all the good work on Monday, April 12th.
Easter Treat: The staff and B.O.M of the school and Kernans, Drumkeen have joined together to organise an Easter Treat for all our students. Every student will receive a gift card on Friday. They can use this voucher to collect a treat bag from Kernans, Drumkeen.
We would like to thank Kernans for their kind donations and the time they have taking to help organise and distribute the Easter treats.
Mindful Children: Pupils in junior infants to third class will continue their ‘Mindful Children’ classes following the easter holidays for a further five weeks.
Athletics: All pupils will resume athletics on Thursdays following the Easter break. Children should wear suitable runners and tracksuit bottoms. Children are asked to continue wearing their school jumper and t-shirt as per uniform policy.
Book Club: As we are unable to run the Book Fair this year we have decided to run a book club. All orders and payments will be taken online. More details to follow after Easter Break.
Standardised Testing: All schools have been advised that standardised testing is to proceed as normal for the current academic year. All classes will complete the standardised tests in the latter half of May. More information will be distributed closer to the time.
Celebration of Sacraments: We hope to be in a position to send further details to all parents in relation to the Sacraments of Confession, Communion and Confirmation, upon our return to school.
Congratulations to Ms. McSweeney on the arrival of her baby son, Luke, earlier this year. Best wishes from everyone in Scoil Phádraig, Drumkeen.
Wishing everyone a happy and safe Easter holiday.
Le Meas,
Mr.McGlynn/Fr. Eamonn Kelly
