Dear Parents/Guardians,
We hope you are all looking forward to the start of term! Let's hope the sun comes out to welcome us back!
A few reminders:
School starts back this Thursday August 29th at 9.10am. Pupils to line up as usual at the little green gate.
New Junior Infants
We are looking forward to welcoming you to the school on Thursday morning. Ms. O'Grady and I will be here to welcome you near the steps. We will take the pupils in and help them settle. We do ask that parents try to avoid coming in as it makes the journey that little more difficult! We wish them all the very best for their school years in Ballymitty NS.
6th Class Hoodies
At the other end of the school we will see our 6th class in their new hoodies. They were delivered to the school yesterday so they can be collected today before 2pm or tomorrow before 3pm.
GAA
This kicks off this Friday morning at 8.30am. It is football and if the rain clears up we would hope to be on the pitch! We will let you know when we are back for the infants - 2nd on Friday!
Aladdin link for book payment
We did send an Aladdin payment so that parents can pay the 25 euros for books. If you have not received this please let Helena know in the office. Remember, there is no need to download an Aladdin app, you just click on the email link.
Mobile library visit
We had asked in the library could they organise a visit by the mobile library service so this will happen on Weds. Sept. 4th. All classes will go down to visit it in the car park and can borrow books. In order to do this, we will need parents' permission as all pupils will need a library loan card.
Hot lunches
These will start this Thursday. Please remember to change any orders by 5pm on Thursday for next week.
Communication
We want to help your child settle back to school. If there is any relevant information that can help us do that you can click on this form here: http://ballymittyns.ie/Forms/Back-to-school-information/3045147/Index.html
