The Fingal Schools Athletics league was due to take place on Thursday, 8th March in Newbridge Demesne. Mr McGuinness' 3rd & 4th class and Mr Tyndall's 5th & 6th class were going to be taking part. This event has now been cancelled until next week Thursday 15th March.

Dear parents/guardians,

The school will reopen tomorrow, Monday, as normal. As there is still a 'status orange' warning in effect until 12pm tomorrow, parents are advised to be cautious on the road to the school. There is still snow lying at the sides of the road on approach. 

 

Kind regards

 

Johnny Tyndall

Principal

The Department of Education has made the following statement in relation to schools reopening on Monday. ( a decision will be made on Sunday afternoon/evening in relation to Scoil Moibhi)

 

'Where possible schools, colleges of further education and third level institutions will re-open on Monday. However, decisions will be made by schools on an individual basis depending on the circumstances and conditions in their area.'

 

'As always, schools must ensure the safety of those in their care and give due consideration to this when making a decision to re-open.'

 

'The Minister for Education and Skills would like to take the opportunity to sincerely thank all those principals, teachers, students and parents who co-operated fully with the safety measures in place over the past days.'

The final mass for sixth class candidates for Confirmation, scheduled for this weekend, has been cancelled due to the weather. Unfortunately it cannot be rescheduled due to the proximity to the Confirmation itself.

The Board of Management is closing the school on Thursday -as previously announced- and now on Friday. This follows the following statement from the Department of Education:

 

'Given the disruption to transport and the safety risks arising, most particularly in relation to the ability to get home safely before blizzard like conditions hit Munster and Leinster, all schools, third level institutions, colleges and centres of further education in red areas will be closed tomorrow and Friday.'

 

The Board of Management have taken the decision to close the school today Wednesday 28th February and tomorrow Thursday 1st March. This is due to the red weather warning issued by Met Eireann which came into effect at 5am this morning -Wednesday- and is in place until 12pm tomorrow - Thursday-. Updates will follow for Friday.

 

Please check the website as your first point of contact as the text-a-parent service is slower than usual due to the volume of schools utilising it.
