Holy Family School Staff created this imovie for DEAR (Drop Everything and Read), which is this Friday the 24th of April. We also want to let all our students know that we miss them very much and we wish them well and to keep safe. It is very important that everyone is looking after their well-being. We hope that all our students, staff, family and friends will drop everything on the 24th of April at 12 noon to READ for 20 minutes. You can read anything; it can be books, magazines, graphic novels, comic books, newspapers, digital library etc.
When Joe Duffy visited us last February to open our new Reading Room, he shared a quote with us, that is “Books will get you through times of no money better than money will ever get you through times of no books.” in other words, books will get us through challenging times. Happy Reading Everyone, and please send us pictures and/or photos of books you are reading for DEAR. Below is a photo of our students Shauna, Emma and Shane getting ready for DEAR challenge. Well done guys!

Dear Parent/Guardian,
I attach my draft Admissions Policy for your attention.
As per circular letter 0007/2020, all boards of management are required to draft a new admissions policy in accordance with the Admissions to Schools Act 2018 .The staff & parents of the school must be consulted before the draft is submitted to the Patron for approval. The deadline for this submission is the 30th April 2020.
The Department issued a template policy document to all schools for amendment. Therefore the draft policy I am sending is generic to all schools and most of the content is mandatory. The sections in green text were edited by me for our school context. As our school is different to mainstream, I consulted with the CPSMA & Special Education for advice on how to amend our policy.
Please email me at principal@holyfamilydeafschool.ie with your feedback on the draft policy by Monday 27th April and I am very willing to answer any questions you may have.
Kind regards,
Eimear
