EASING OF COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS – 28TH FEBRUARY 2022
Dear Parent/Guardian,
We hope you are all keeping well and have enjoyed a good mid-term break.
As you are by now aware the Government has issued advice in relation to the easing of Covid-19 restrictions.
The following are the key points to note as we return to school.
• Staying at home if you have symptoms . The requirement to stay at home if you have symptoms remains, both for students and staff as this is one of the key measures in our Covid-19 Response Plan to prevent the introduction and spread of illness in the school.
• Mask wearing From Monday February 28th. It will no longer a requirement for students to wear a mask in school. Students can continue to wear a mask if they wish to do so.
• Mask Wearing on school buses/trips . The wearing of face coverings/masks on school transport will also no longer be mandatory but continues to be advised. However, other measures including preassigned seating will remain in place subject to further review.
• Hand Hygiene, sanitisation, sharing of materials . All students should continue to practice good hygiene and the use of sanitiser, particularly when equipment and materials are being shared.
• Ventilation. Ventilation will remain as a key prevention measure subject to future review.
We look forward to working together in the busy final months of this school year.
Yours sincerely,
Mr. Anton O Mahony,
Principal.
