Dear Parents & Guardians,
I hope you and your family are safe and well. We are looking forward to welcoming our pupils back on the first week of September and helping them to re-engage with learning in Holy Family. Indeed, we cannot wait to see our school alive again with joyful and energetic pupils who long to be re-united with their friends and our staff.
We are currently working very hard to make sure that the school buildings and playground will be safe for all pupils, staff and essential visitors.
We want to have school seem as “normal” as possible for our pupils when they return. In line with Department of Education & Skills guidelines, we will take a balanced and common-sense approach to create awareness about COVID-19 and to do everything practical to avoid the introduction of COVID-19 into our school. Returning to school will mean some new routines and rules to keep everyone safe. I will be communicating with all parents by letter, email and via the school website with details of these new arrangements in the next two weeks.
I hope you all enjoy the rest of the summer break and please find attached a letter from Norma Foley, Minister for Education for all parents.
Yours sincerely,
Eimear

Congratulations to Mary Ohle whose submission to the Education Credit Union (ASTICU) has secured €1000 for Holy Family School! The board was very humbled with Mary’s application. She highlighted the challenges facing our students and the huge effort being made by staff to help them. We are delighted to receive this donation. This funding is given to support the current challenges of distant learning. We will use this money to further our plan to become a digital school. Thank you Mary and ASTICU very much.
