Next week Scoil Cholmcille will take part in Anti-bullying week. The theme this year is “All Different, All Equal”. To mark the start of Anti-bullying week we are having an “odd socks Monday” were children will wear odd socks to school and on Friday as a sign of standing up together against bullying we invite everyone to wear a blue item of clothing. Text reminders will follow closer to these dates. ___________________________________________________
Parents evening will take place on Thursday 23rd of November. Please note that school will end at 2.45pm on that in order for parents to organise themselves to get the parents evening up and running quickly. Timeslots for parents evening will be issued this week. If times do not suit, please contact your child’s teacher and we will do our best to accommodate you at a different time or date.
