Morning Assembly
The school hall is open from 8.45am – 9am every morning to facilitate drop off. The school does not open for official instruction until 9am. We wish to thank all staff as this is voluntary supervision provided by S.N.A.s and teachers. We also wish to remind parents that outside these times, the children remain unsupervised in the yard.
Leaving School
Junior and Senior Infants will exit through the side door each day at 1.40pm. Ms. Courtney will call each child when she sees the person collecting them and it is their turn to leave. Please inform Ms. Courtney if there is ever a change in the person collecting your child. On wet days, children may be collected from the front porch.
The children are also supervised in the afternoon from 2.40pm – 2.55pm to facilitate collection. We wish to thank all staff as this is voluntary supervision provided by S.N.A.s and teachers. We also wish to remind parents that outside these times, the children remain unsupervised in the yard.

Children leaving the school before official closing time must be collected at the school and signed out.
Parents are requested to wait for their children outside the school wall. In the interest of child protection and safety parents or those collecting children are asked not to wait in the school yard.
