Jolly Phonics Zoom meeting for Juniors
WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 30TH at 7PM
The primary literacy tool in Junior Infants is Jolly Phonics. Some of you have already had experience of it with older siblings. And for some this is completely new territory.
In order for it to be effective, all parents need to understand what it entails and how to support your child as best as possible.
Zoom link details sent out by email
Parents Association Meeting
The First Parents Association meeting of the year this Thursday 1st October at 8pm.
We will have the meeting in the school hall to allow for social distancing and we ask that people wear masks also.
If anyone has anything they wish to be put on the agenda please let one of the committee know before Thursday.
Due to the challenging year we have had, and perhaps with more testing times to come, we would love to see as many parents as possible attend, to discuss how to facilitate our regular activities while still adhering to government guidelines.
