An announcement was made this morning by the Taoiseach Leo Varadkar TD of the closure of schools, pre-schools and further and higher education settings, for a period until 29 March 2020, to support efforts to contain the spread of Covid-19. This will take effect from 6pm this evening, Thursday 12 March. This is in line with the advice of the National Public Health Emergency Team.
In order to minimise the impact on teaching and learning our teachers will continue to plan lessons and, where possible, provide online resources for students or online lessons. Preparations were made in school over the last number of days and your son/daughter should be able to access and use their Microsoft365 system from home. This system can also be accessed using a smartphone and we would ask students with connectivity issues to share school work with their classmates using social media.
We thankyou for your ongoing support and we will continue to update you with further developments should they arise.
Yours Sincerely,
Mr. A. O Mahony,
Principal.
