Shanbally National School has been participating in this very worthwhile event for the last ten years. Any monies collected in Ireland stays in Ireland for Cancer Research. We would really appreciate if you could attend this event and also acquire some sponsorship for the event. Each family will receive a sponsorship card and further cards will be available at the school office.

VENUE: SHANBALLY NATIONAL SCHOOL.
TIME: 12 NOON

Since we returned back to school, there is a lot of confusion and mix up of School Jumpers and Track-suit Tops, and we are asking for these to be labelled, so that the children can identify their own.

We have some children's tables available if any person would like them. They are available on a first come basis, any day after school.

 

 

6th September 2004.

Dear Parents,

Welcome back after the Summer Break, and a particular welcome to the Parents and children of Junior Infants and those who have come to us across the classes from other schools. Our numbers continue to grow, but we do have a ceiling to those numbers, which should enable us to have one teacher per class within the next two years. We have no plans to grow beyond that point.

As this is our initial note, I will confine it to the most immediate issues, for your attention!

  1. Parking: (before and after school). In the mornings, school opens at 8.35 am – and it would help if everybody did not decide to arrive at 8.45 – 8.50 am!! When you enter the car-park, park towards the exits on the far side. Please do not block the exits either! Please be careful of children all around you. Do not park across the road from the School’s main gate. Please try car-pooling.
  2. School Closings: The Department of Education and Science have Standardised these for Mid-term, Christmas etc. Also there will be six extra closings during the year for Curriculum and Organisational Planning. . Advanced notice will be given to you for these days.
  3. Staff – Meetings occur, two per Term, and on those days School will close at 12.45.pm.

 

Thank you for your attention,
