Important Update
IMPORTANT UPDATE
Dear Parents,
We have received an e-mail update from the Minister of Education, Mr Peter Weir, informing us that schools are to remain open.
As a result of this school will be open on Wednesday as previously planned. Breakfast Club is open from 8:15am and After School Club until 4:00pm. After School Activities on Thursday will be suspended until further notice.
Children and staff will be washing hands more often during the school day and we would ask any parents/carers to leave and pick up children at the front door of school to minimise any risks.
Please remember at all times to follow Public Health Agency Advice:
https://www.publichealth.hscni.net/news/covid-19-coronavirus.
We would ask that you notify the school if you or your child show any symptoms or are diagnosed with Covid-19. This will enable us to inform PHA confidentially and they can advise us of any further precautions we may be required to take.
We respect any decisions by parents who wish to withdraw their children for the foreseeable future due to health concerns.
We appreciate that this is a very worrying time for everyone in our community as well as our parents, pupils and staff.
Thank you for your continued support and understanding. This is an unprecedented situation and we need to work together for everyone’s health and wellbeing.
