A child must be 4 years of age on the 1st of September of that school year in order to be included in Junior Infants.

Parents are invited to an open evening to meet with the principal and staff in February to view the school.
Children are invited to an open afternoon in June to meet their teacher and to spend time with their new classmates.
Parents of special needs children are encouraged to discuss the child’s needs with the principal.

Absence from school:

All parents/guardians are requested to send a note to the teacher on Aladdin if their child has been absent from school. Each teacher keeps a record of these absences on file and reports to the principal when a child has been absent for a total of 13 days. Any absence of 20 days or greater is reported to the NEWB. A child is not allowed leave the school without written permission of the parent/guardian.

It is important that parents ensure their child completes homework including oral work each night.
