We would like to advise you of the measures that we have undertaken to ensure your child’s return to school is as safe as possible, as follows:

Hand sanitizing stations in each classroom
Extensive signage and floor markings around the school – classrooms, corridors, stairwells etc.
Non-touch pedal bins in bathrooms and classrooms
Warm water availability at all sinks
Hygiene packs provided to all staff for in-class usage
Visors and face masks provided for staff
Non-contact thermometers available on each floor (temperatures will only be taken with parent’s consent and if a child is displaying symptoms of Covid 19)
On-site cleaner for extra cleaning during the school day
Classroom layout to support social distancing
Plastic gates to split yard to ensure social distancing between classes on both yards
Staggered break times allowing for each “bubble” to play separately on yard
Widening of foot paths in vicinity of school to allow for ease of movement accessing and exiting the school grounds
Plan in progress for accessing / departing school grounds to support social distancing measures. Update to follow.

Drop-off & Collection:

For the benefit of all families and staff in our school, it is important that we introduce staggered drop off and collection at the school, as follows:

Arrival Time	Classes	Departure Time
8.50am	1^st Class (Martina’s)	2.30pm
	2^nd Class	2.30pm
	4^th Class	2.30pm
	6^th Class	2.30pm

Arrival Time	Classes	Departure Time
9.00am	3^rd Class	2.40pm
	5^th Class	2.40pm
	1^st Class (Andrea’s)	2.40pm
	Outreach Classes	1.40pm / 2.40pm

Arrival Time	Classes	Departure Time
9.10am	Senior Infants	1.50pm

Junior Infants – September 2020
Sept 1^st – 4^th	9.30am – 11.15am
Sept 7^th – 11^th	9.15am – 12.00pm
Sept 14^th – 18^th	9.15am – 12.00pm

From September 21^st Junior Infants children will be in for a full day from 9.10 a.m. to 1.50 p.m. daily

We very much appreciate your co-operation with this measure, which ensures that the school “limits interaction on arrival and departure from school”, in line with advice from the Department of Education and Skills (DES). Only children for the relevant class should be in the yard at the arrival time. Siblings should remain outside the school grounds until their allocated time.
