Welcome back to school everyone,
I hope everyone had a great Halloween! Some reminders for the next few weeks:
Parents and Friends Group Meeting
The next meeting is this evening at 7.30pm in the school. At this meeting we will discuss the Christmas Calendar fundraiser, Late Late Toy Show Treat Bags, Christmas outfit swap/exchange etc.
Admissions/Enrolments
Information about the enrolment of pupils for Junior Infants, other classes and An Choill Autism classes will issue tomorrow on this website. This sets out the clear guidelines for parents when enrolling their children under the Education (Admissions to Schools) Act 2018.
Scholastic Book Fair arrives next week
The Scholastic Book Fair is a pop-up celebration of reading that will be in our school from Monday next Nov. 11th - Fri. Nov. 15th. The book fair is a selection of books on display in big bookcases with all the latest in books, novels, stationery and posters. The pupils go to visit the Book Fair with their classes on Mon and Tues and then on Weds and Thurs once they know what they wish to buy they can bring in some money to make those purchases. We invite parents up to purchase some books too from 2 - 3pm Tues to Thurs of next week. Unfortunately we do not have a card machine so we do not accept cards for payment. We will let you know more information here as the week goes on.

Erasmus visitors
Next week we welcome 20 Spanish students and 4 teachers to our school. We look forward to meeting them as we will also meet them in Spain next May. Our 17 pupils who will travel to Spain next May will spend time with the Spanish group next Weds and Thurs in school and then on Friday in Hook Head. More details to follow
Class photos for Christmas Calendars
On Thursday of this week we will have the class photos taken for the Christmas Calendar that the Parents and Friends Group are organising as a fundraiser. Please ensure your child has their full school uniform on for the photos. As part of the Christmas Calendars, like last year, we will be asking local businesses to put in an ad in the calendars. We will send out this information this week.
Sing Out Loud
A reminder that the Sing Out Loud concert is on next Monday Nov. 11th in the Wexford Opera House. Tickets that parents have purchased will come to the school and we will send them out with the children. The children have to be dropped to the front entrance of the Opera House next Monday for 4.30pm. To make it a bit easier logistically for children, you can collect your child at 2pm from the school next Monday afternoon as I am sure they will need to get home to change and have dinner before they go again.
Thanks everyone,
Audrey
