Dear Parents/ Guardians,
Portlaw NS has teamed up with
Sherpa Kids Ireland to provide, After School Care from 2pm to 6pm Monday –
Friday and Holiday Care during school holidays from 9am – 5pm.
·
Our After-School programme delivers an innovative approach to school age
childcare on site in Portlaw NS. This means that your child is with their peers
and in familiar surroundings, giving you the peace of mind that comes with
having no pick-up or drop off to worry about during your working day. Your
child is our Sherpa Kid and our care for them is guided by 2 main principles
which are at the core of everything we do: their safety & their well-being.
·
At Sherpa Kids we understand the total mismatch between the number of
holidays your child gets compared to the amount you have as a working parent.
So, to support parents, we offer extended holiday time care, we are open 48
weeks of the year, closing for two weeks at Christmas and two weeks in August.
For more information, please
email Sarah Jane at plns@sherpakids.ie
or call 083 0895768

Ms. Hally has again created a fantastic experience for our pupils with the Green School programme. This year she is growing the ingredients in school and yesterday 6th class learned how to cook them.
Thanks to Ms. Hally, Mr. O'Shea and the Green School programme for providing us with all the equipment.
Thanks to everyone who attended tonight's meeting on Zoom. Here are some notes.
Class Teacher
Ms. Donnelly will be the class teacher with Ms. Power and Ms.Doyle as the special education teachers working with the class.
Dates & Times
Friday June 11th we will host an induction for the children in school. We will invite the children in two groups of ten. It will be held after 12pm and we will confirm the exact time closer to the day.
September 1st is the first day in school. Junior Infants start at 10.20am and go home at 12.30pm.
For the first two weeks school starts at 9.10am and finishes at 12.30pm. From the third week we move to the full infant day of 9.10am to 1.50pm.
Communication
We send home very few notes. Most communication is done via the Komeer app which you should download and register for Portlaw NS.
The class teacher will use Seesaw for communicating with parents and a link to register will be sent home in September.
Covid
Due to covid restrictions we ask parents to walk their child into the yard for the first week and then leave. From week two all children must be left at the gate and walk in to the yard themselves. There will be teachers and SNAs on duty every day from 9am.
If you wish to speak to your class teacher please make an appointment through the office.
Book leasing
A payment link was sent today about book leasing. If you did not receive it please ring the office to get one. It must be paid in full by June 11th for all children.
The Allianz insurance form is available to download from the school website download section.
The school calendar will be published in the coming weeks.
Thank You and see you on June 11th.
Thanks to Carrick on Suir Lyons Club for donating seeds, healthy snacks and info to Mr. O'Shea's and Ms. Keane's classes.
They are raising awareness of Type 2 diabetes and what we can all do to limit the risks of it.
We'll be planting the seeds they gave us at home and in school this week.
