Seachtain Athchúrsáile- An Brat Glas... Recycling Week- Green Flag

Gach Tuismitheoir/ All parents:

Táimíd ag eagrú seachtain athchúrsáile i n Gaelscoil Chionn tSáile an tseachtain seo chugainn, 2ú- 6ú Mí Feabhra 2015. 

Beidh comórtaisí, cainteoir, suirbhé agus a lán ranganna bunaithe ar bhruscar agus dramhaíl. 

Táimíd chun ár ndícheall a dhéanamh chun an brat glas a fháil sa scoil. An téama ná bruscar agus dramhaíl. Caithfaimíd bruscar na scoile a laghdú agus na páistí a mhúineadh i gceart faoi bruscar, athchúrsáil agus athúsáid. 

Tá cosc ar scragall stáin sna boscaí lóin don tseachtain ar fad. Táimíd ag impí oraibh chun teacht ar slite níos fearr chun na ceapairí a chlúdú e.g. mála ziploc a féidir leat athúsáid a dhéanamh air, nó bosca lón níos lú a úsáid don cheapaire amháin. 

We are running a recycling week in Gaelscoil Chionn tSáile next week, from the 2nd to the 6th of February, 2015. 

We will have lots of competitions, prizes, a guest speaker, a parent survey and students will be taught all about recycling and reusing materials. 

We are going to make many changes and do our best to be awarded with the Green Flag, which focuses on litter and waste. 

There is a ban on aluminium foil in lunch boxes for all of next week 2nd-6th/02/15. A recent survey which 4th class conducted showed that the most common method of wrapping sandwiches in the Gaelscoil was aluminium foil, which is not easily recycled and not very reusable. We are encouraging parents to consider using another material, such as a ziploc bag that can be reused throughout the week, or even better, using nothing but a smaller lunchbox for sandwiches.

POD- Primary Online Database.

Beidh clúdacha foirmeacha á sheoladh abhaile againn amárach, 28/01/15. Líon amach iad le bhur dtola agus seol isteach arís chuig do mhúinteoir ranga. 

We are sending home a form tomorrow 28/01/15. Please fill in the necessary details and return to your class teacher as soon as possible. 

Please see below for further details in relation to the Primary Online Database. 

Should any further questions arise from this, please visit the website www.education.ie  

Go raibh maith agaibh. 

Information note for Parents on the Primary Online Database.

Dear Parent, 

As you may be aware, the Department of Education and Skills is currently developing an individualised database of primary school children, called the Primary Online Database (POD). 

Individualised data coverage has already been in place for a number of years at pre-primary, postprimary and third level education, and is an extremely valuable resource in monitoring the progress of all students through the education system, including vulnerable subgroups, developing education policy, forward planning, and underpinning payments and teacher allocations to education institutions. 

The new system at primary level will allow the Department to identify children leaving the education system early or not making the transfer from primary to post primary level. It also will in time deliver benefits to schools and parents by reducing form filling and allowing records to be transferred between schools automatically as your child moves school. The Department is now in the process of rolling out and populating POD across all primary schools. 

This means that schools are now being asked to provide individual details about your child, including your child's PPS number, name, address, date of birth and nationality, into the POD system. A full outline of all of the data requested, the reasons for collecting each piece of data, and how the data will be used, accessed, stored, shared and retained is given in the POD Fair Processing Notice available on the "POD" area of the Department's website www.education.ie or on request from Statistics section. 

A Frequently Asked Questions document is also available on the website which outlines answers to some of the regular queries from parents we have received to date. The Department takes the protection of your child's data very seriously. All data on POD is stored on the Revenue Commissioners servers, with the same security protections in place as for Revenue records. Within the Department, only a limited number of Statistics section staff will have access to the individual records. 

Two optional pieces of information requested about your child, religion and ethnic or cultural background, are considered under Data Protection legislation to be sensitive personal data and require your written consent in order for the data to be transferred to the Department. The current retention policy for POD data is for POD records to be maintained until the pupil reaches the age of 30. This is to allow longitudinal analysis in line with the national and international priorities for lifelong learning, and to allow for pupils to obtain their record from the Department in the future. 

A POD helpdesk is in place to answer queries and provide any further information you may require, and is staffed from Monday to Friday 8:30am to 5pm. 

The helpdesk staff can be contacted by email at pod@education.gov.ie or at 01 8892311. 

Best regards,

Míoltóga Gruaige

A thuistí, Cuireadh ar an eolas mé go bhfuil TRÍ  chás míoltóga ghruaige sa scoil - Rang 1, Rang 2 (M. Róisín), agus Rang 4. Scrúdaigh gruaig do pháiste anocht agus cuir an leigheas cuí air más gá. Tá sé an-dheacair fáilt réidh le míoltóga ghruaige muna bhféachann gach clann ar gruaig a bpáistí féin.Táim ag impí oraibh seo a dhéanamh chun cosc a chur ar an fhadhb go tapaidh. Dear parents, I have been informed of 2 cases of head lice in the school - 1st Class, 2nd Class (M. Róisín) and 4th Class. Please check your child's hair tonight and treat it if necessary. It is very hard to get rid of head lice if each family does not look at their own children's heads. I am imploring you to do this to stop the problem quickly.

Litir ón tSiúr Genevieve

This note is to remind you that Migrant Sunday is iminent:
This year it falls on Sunday 18th of January 2015 – next Sunday.  We are inviting the children who are not native to Ireland, to make a picture of the flag of their native country – on A4 page, to be folded over to A5 size, with the picture of the flag on the A5 side.  Someone from the group will call to collect them on Friday next – 16th of January 2015.  They will be displayed in the Church that weekend, to remind people of the diversity in our community.  It is an opportunity to show our appreciation of their presence among us, and to celebrate their heritage.
We also invite anyone who wishes, to come to Mass, dressed in the colours of their country.
Last year a lot of people remarked on the cards,  and wondered at the variety of nationalities among us.   We really are a Church of many Nations !!!
Thank you, again for your cooperation.  I wish you all a very blessed year ahead.
Sr. Genevieve.
