Eachtra buairteach / Worrying incident


A thuismitheoirí,
Tá sé tugtha chun tsolais go bhfuil tuismitheoirí áirithe fós ag pairceál go dainséarach lasmuigh don scoil. Thárla eachtra buairteach inné le páiste agus an bus ag cúlú de bharr droch phairceál tuismitheoir.
Ná pairceál riamh ag an bhfalla clocha ansan ag oscailt na scoile. Tá sé ró-theang.
Tá sé ráite againn arís agus arís eile leis na páistí a bheith aireach agus iad ag siúl thar gluaisteáin - nuair a táid ag cúlú ach go háirithe. Dhéanfadh sé maitheas dá mbeadh an comhrá céanna agaibhse leo. Munar tusa atá á mbailiú um thráthnóna cuirigí an teachtaireacht seo chuig na feighlithe chomh maith ar eagla nach bhfuil fhios acu cheanna féin cár nár cóir dóibh pairceál le bhur dtola.
Bíodh deireadh seachtaine deas agaibh ar fad!

Dear parents,
It has come to light that certain parents are still parking dangerously outside the school. A worrying incident happened yesterday to a child as the bus was reversing as a result of a parents bad parking.
Don't ever park at that stone wall at the entrance to the school. It is too narrow.
We have said again and again to the children to be careful when walking past a car - especially when they are reversing. It would be good if you could have the same talk with them. If it's not you collecting them in the afternoon please give this message to the minders also in case they don't know where they shouldn't park.
Have a lovely weekend!

MEABHRÚCHÁIN DEIRNEACH / FINAL REMINDER

Táimid ag impí ar gach clann mála amháin a thabhairt isteach lán de sean-éadaí / teicstilí / bróga / málaí don bhailiúcháin an Luan seo chugainn an 21ú Eanair 2013 roimh 9.30a.m. 
Míle buíochas.

We hope to receive at least one bag of clothes / textiles / shoes / handbags from every family for the collection this Monday the 21st January 2013. Please try to gather a few old belongings that are no longer in use and bring them in before 9.30 a.m.
Thank you

Clothes for Recycling Appeal

Clothes for Recycling appeal: We have put back the collection date to the 21st of January 2013. We would like to have a lot more clothes/handbags/ shoes/ bed linen/ curtains collected before the lorry arrives. A big thank you to the people who've brought in bags already. We hope some more bags may be collected during your Spring clean!  This recycling initiative will help with our Green Schools campaign that we hope to begin in the new year. The recycling company promotes awareness of recycling used clothes, shoes and mobile phones, reduces items going to landfill, endorses the culture of Re-Use and recycling and has a list of Affiliated Charities. The school will also raise needed funds for itself.

Athchúrsáil éadaí: Tá an sprioc dáta curtha siar againn go dtí an 21ú lá de mhí Eanair 2013. Níor bhailíomar go leor málaí fós agus ní theastaíonn uainn an leoraí a ordú go dtí go bhfuil ualach de mhalaí againn. Míle buíochas do na dhaoine a thug isteach málaí. Tá súil againn go mbeidh níos mó ag teacht i rith na glantacháin Earraigh!

Ainmneacha ar Éadaí!

An bhféadfadh na tuismitheoirí go léir féachaint ar a gcuid éadaí le cinntiú go bhfuil na héadaí cearta acu le bhur dtola sna naí ranganna ach go háirithe. Tá cóta puffa dúghorm ó NEXT imithe agus dha gheansaí scoile imithe ar strae uainn sa rang seo amhain! Féach ar éadaí do pháiste agus seol isteach aon rud nach mbaineann libh. Má dhéanann gach tuismitheoir é seo ní bheidh éinne thíos mar sheolfar abhaile na héadaí cearta leis na paistí cearta. Bí cinnte go bhfuil ainm ar gach ball éadaí atá á caitheamh acu ar scoil le bhur dtola mar ní féidir aon rud a dhéanamh ma chailltear iad muna bhfuil ainm orthu.
 
Could parents of all classes and especially the Infants please ensure that every item of clothing their child has in school has their name clearly written in permanent marker/ink or has a label sewn on. The sticky kind are not 100% reliable as they tend to fall off. In Junior Infants alone 2 school jumpers and a navy Puffa from NEXT have been mislaid. Please check that your child has his/her own jumper and return them if they are incorrect. If everyone does this, all items will be restored to their rightful owners. Please ensure each item your child wears to school has a name on it as if it is mislaid it will come back in if it has a name on it and was taken in error.
Go raibh maith agaibh.

Thank you from St. Vincent de Paul

Éide Scoile / School Uniform

Dia dhíobh & Fáilte thar nais 
 Le linn ullmhúcháin dos na drámaí na Nollag roimh an  bhriseadh chuaigh cúpla carbhat srl ar strae. An féidir le gach duine éadach a leanaí a seiceáil chun a chinntiú nach bhfuil éadaí sa bhreis agaibh. Ma thagann sibh ar aon rud nach mbaineann libh seol go Hilda iad le bhfur dtoil.Tá bosca éadaí caillte agus faighte ag Hilde san oifig i gconaí. Mar is gnáth bíodh ainm ar gach chuid don éide scoile agus labhair le do leanbh faoi an tabacht a bhaineann le aire a thabhairt dos na héadaí a bhaineann leo ar an mbus, sa chlós, agus istigh ar scoil.
 Tá cúpla léine rugbai samplach agam i mo sheomra atá ag lorg baile deas. Tá tomhais na léinte scríbhte orthu le dúch ach tá fáilte romhaibh iad a thógaint abhaile agus iarracht a dhéanamh na marcanna a bhaint.

Hallo and welcome back,
During the preparations for the Christmas plays before the break a few ties etc. went missing. Could everyone check their child's uniform to make sure that you have no extra items of clothing. If you come across anything that isn't yours, please send it to Hilda.Hilda always has a lost and found box in the office. As per usual, have your child's name on every piece of their uniform and speak with your child about the importance of taking care of their clothes on the bus, in the yard and inside in school.
I have a couple of sample rugby shirts in my room that are looking for a good home. Their sizes are written on them with ink but you are welcome to take them home and try to take off the marks.
