Láthaireán Tomáint Timpeall / Drop-Off Zone

Mo bhuíochas libh as bhúr dtacaíocht i leith an soinseál atá déanta i leith páirceáil las muigh. Tá ag éiri go breá linn agus táim ana bhuíoch le Coiste na dTuismitheoirí as an gcuidiú a chug siad dúinn ag an láithearán an tseachtain seo. 

Cúpla pointe le míniú go fóill:

- Ba chóir transú ag an Trasnú Séabra amháin. Is é seo an áit is sábháilte chun trasnú sa zón.

-Mura bhfuil spás páirceála duit ar an zón coimeád ag tomáint isteach is amach as an zón go dtagann spás aníos.

-Níl cead páirceáil ar na línte dúbailte buí. 

-Níor chóir do thuismitheirí páirceáil ins an eastáit tithíochta trasna ón scoil ná ar thaobh an bhóthar i ndiaidh an scoil.

Your co-operation at the Drop-Off Zone this week was much appreciated. It is a big change for all involved and the transition to our new system is working well. My thanks to the PA for helping to guide others at the Zone this week. 

There are a few points I would like to make:

NB Pedestrians shouls ONLY cross the zone at the Padestrian/ Zebra Crossing! It is the safest part of the Zone, and the only point at which I want to see Parents/ Children crossing at. I understand it might put you out a minute or two to get to the Zebra Crossing and cross safely however safety is our top  priority. I'm sure you encourage your child to always cross a road at the safest point and the same rules should apply at the Gaelscoil.

- The middle lane of the Zone is a free flowing lane. If there is no parking space available when you arrive at the school please continue to circle the zone, exiting and entering it until a space becomes available. 

- Parking on the double yellow lines is not permitted as it obstructs the flow of traffic.

- We need to respect our neighbours, therefore it is not advisable to park in the housing estate across from the school or on the side of the road after the school.

- It is up to you to explain this process to anyone collecting your child / children on your behalf.

  

Cleachtadh R2 sa séipéal/ R2 in Church for Confession practice.

Maidin amárach Déardaoin 26/2/2015 is maidin Dé hAoine 27/2/2015 fág do pháiste ag an séipéal don cleachtadh faoistine in ionad teacht ar scoil. Beidh an bus ag stopadh ag an séipéal ar maidin is beidh múinteoir ann chun bualadh le páistí a thagann ar scoil ar bhus.

POD

Primary Online Database: POD.

Meabhrúchán/ Reminder: 

Dos na daoine nár sheol ar ais an litir leis na sonraí POD, seol isteach iad chuig do mhúinteoir ranga roimh an Aoine seo 13/02/15. Má tá sé caillte agat, cuir glaoch ar an runaí agus tabhairfaidh sí cóip eile duit.

Ní caithfidh an scoil cead a fháil chun na sonraí neamh-íogair a sheoladh ar aghaidh chuig POD e.g. ainm, seoladh an pháiste. Tá an deis agat anois chun na sonraí sin a chuir suas chun dáta e.g. seoladh nua le déanaí. Muna bhfuil uimhir PPS tugtha, gheobhaidh POD amach é iad fhéin, sloinne roimh phósadh an mháthair a úsáid.   

Ní caithfidh tuistmitheoirí sonraí íogair  faoi reiligiún, eitneach nó cultúr a thabhairt. Tá sé mar cheart agat an bosca 'no consent' a roghnú sa chás sin. 

Please return the completed/corrected POD letter that you received a few weeks ago before this Friday 13/02/15. If you have misplaced it, please ring the secretary and she will send home another copy. 

Please be aware that the school does not need your consent to forward on the non-sensitive information to POD i.e. name, address etc of your child. We have simply given you the opportunity to update this information e.g. if you have changed address. If PPS no. is not provided, POD will generate that information themselves by using the maiden name of the child's mother. 

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 consent in order for the data to be transferred to the Department.

Some parents have chosen to tick the no consent box on the POD forms for this sensitive information and they are very entitled to do so. 

Boscaí Lóin

Ba mhaith leis an gCoiste Glas ár mbuíochas a ghabháil (Thank you) chuig na tuismitheoirí ar fad nár úsáid scragall stáin an tseachtain seo caite 2-6/02/15. (for not using aluminium foil.)

Mhol tuismitheoirí sa suirbhé agus mhol an saineolaí a tháinig chugainn chun caint linn chun cosc iomlán a chur ar scragall stáin agus scannán cumhdaithe.

(In our survey, some parents suggested that we prohibit the use of aluminium foil for wrapping food completely. Our guest speaker, an expert in recycling, said that cling film is not recyclable and not very reusable.)

Tá an cinneadh déanta againn chun a bheith i gcoinne scragall stáin agus scannán cumhdaithe sa scoil as seo amach. 

We have decided to strongly discourage the use of aluminium foil and cling film to wrap food in our school from now on.

Tuigimid go bhfuil sé seo an-bhearránach. (We understand that this is inconvenient for parents.) Ach, táimíd ag impí oraibh chun tacú linn. Tá a lán scoileanna ar fud an domhan ag spreagadh páistí chun 'bia nocht' a ithe don lón.   

(However, this move has been made by many primary schools all around the world and is referred to as 'nude food' or 'litterless lunch.' We are encouraging parents and guardians to use reusable pouches and cases when packing lunches.)

Traenáil iomanaíochta sa halla

Ní bheidh aon traenáil iomanaíochta ar siúl amárach (11/02/2015) i halla Naomh Eltin do rang a 3 nó rang a 4. Tar ar scoil mar is gnáth. 

Comhghairdeas do na cailíní i rang a 3, a bhuaigh an chomórtas camógaíochta sa halla in Ath an Mhaide inné (09/02/2015). Bhíodar do-chreidte. Maith sibh cailíní!

There is no indoor hurling training tomorrow morning (11/02/2015) in Naomh Eltin's hall for either third or fourth class.

A big congratulations for the girls in third class, who won the indoor hurling competition in Riverstick yesterday (09/02/2015). They played excellently both as a team and individually. Well done girls!

Cóineartú / Confirmation

Tuismitheoirí (Parents) Rang 5 agus 6

Beidh litir (letter) ag dul amach (will be sent out) Dé Luain 9ú Feabhra 2015 (next Monday 9th February 2015) faoin Cóineartú (about Confirmation).

Go raibh maith agaibh!

An Brat Glas

An Coiste Glas: 

Táimíd i ndiaidh a lán obair a dhéanamh an tseachtain seo ar fad agus táimíd céim níos congaraí chun an brat glas a bhaint amach

(We have done a lot of work this week and are one step closer to the Green Flag)
​

Tosnaíonn dea-nósanna sa bhaile agus caithfidh na páistí foghlaim faoi athchúrsáil agus athúsáid sa bhaile, agus gan bruscar a chaitheamh nó rudaí a chur amú 

(Education begins at home and the benefits of recycling and reusing materials need to be instilled in children from an early age. Children need to be taught by example not to litter and not be wasteful.)

Is féidir libh dul i dteagmháil leis an gCoiste Glas aon am i rith na bliana má tá tuairimí agaibh nó má tá aon ceist agaibh. 

(You can contact the Green Team via email throughout the year if you have any further suggestions or questions.)

Ranganna Gaeilge i gcóir na tuismitheoirí

Le do thoil, tabhair do ainm go dtí Hilda amárach (05/02/2015) má tá suim agat ranganna Gaeilge a dhéanamh sa scoil. Níl mórán tar éis chuir isteach ar na ranganna in aon chor agus gach seans nach rachaidh sé ar aghaidh mura bhfuil na huimhreacha againn.

If you have any interest in attending Irish classes in the evening time at the Gaelscoil please leave your name with Hilda tomorrow (05/02/2015). There has been very little interest so far and every chance that they may not be enough numbers to go ahead.

Fuarthas suim d'airgead i seomra Rang 6 ar an Déardaoin 29ú Eanair 2015. Más rud é gur chaill éinne aon airgead, teigh i dteangbháil le Hilda san oifig le bhur dtola. Go raibh maith agaibh.

Míoltóga Gruaige

A thuistí, 

Cuireadh ar an eolas mé go bhfuil cás míoltóga ghruaige i rang Naíonáin Shínsearacha inniu 02/02/2015. 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  a case of head lice in  Senior Infants today 02/02/2015. 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.

Beidh Céad Fhaoistin R2 ar siúl ar an 2/3/2015 ag a 7 sa séipéal.

An Brat Glas- SUIRBHÉ

An Brat Glas- Seachtain Athchúrsáile/Recycling Week

​

Gach Tuismitheoir/ Every parent: 

Le bhur dtola, déanaigí an suirbhé seo. Cabhróidh sé linn an brat glas a fháil. 

Tá fonn orainn go mbeadh tuismitheoirí agus an phobal ag déanamh athraithe comh maith chun feabhsú sa bhaile agus níos mó athchúrsáil agus athúsáid a dhéanamh, agus níos lú cur amú agus caitheamh bruscar a dhéanamh.

Please take the time to complete our parent survey- all about litter and waste. 

This will help us on our quest to be awarded with a green flag. 

We want parents to reflect upon their own practices. We want to promote more recycling and reusing at home and in the community. Parents are asked to think about how they can help us attain the green flag. We need to reduce the amount of waste we are producing at school. You will also have the opportunity to share advice with us in this survey
