Under the Education Welfare Act 2000, parents must let the school know the reason why their child is absent on any given day. Under the Act, the school is obliged to report to Tusla the non-attendance of any child who misses 20 days or more in a school year, along with the reason(s) for the absences.

Good attendance is a priority in our school. Please do not keep your child out of school unless it is absolutely necessary (for example, in the event of illness). 

The school observes a healthy eating policy. We encourage children to include a piece of fruit and a dairy product in their lunch daily. Children may bring in one small treat only on a Friday.

Several items including fizzy drinks, crisps, chewing gum, lollipop/hard sweets and nut-based products are not permitted in school on any day during the week.

Children bring their lunch rubbish home in their lunch boxes each day.  

**Please be aware that our classrooms are Nut-Free zones.**

Our main form of communication will be through Databiz Solutions.
