Drop off Routine: Junior Infants
We understand that some of our Junior Infants may find their first few days attending school intimidating and may have difficulty entering the school alone. If parents find themselves faced with this scenario, we have put the following procedures in place to allow for a smoother transition:
Drop off times for Junior Infants will be from 8.50- 9.00 AM from 26/08/22 to 02/09/22 inclusive. From 05/09/22 onwards, Junior Infant drop off times will be from 8.40-8.50 AM.
If necessary, parents of Junior Infants may enter the school at entry point B. (see attached map)
From there, parents may walk their child(ren) to their classroom, where games and activities will be set up for them.
Parents may then exit the school once their child has settled.
These measures will run from 26/08/22 to 31/08/22 (four days in total)
Beginning on 01/09/22, Junior Infant children must be dropped off at entry point B, where they will be greeted by a staff member. Parents will no longer be allowed to enter the school from this date onward, unless by prior arrangement
Collection Routine: Junior Infants
Parents must collect their children at the school gate at the allocated time.
Junior Infant collection time is at 11.30 from 26/08/22 to 02/09/22 inclusive.
Junior Infant collection time is at 12.30 from 05/09/22 to 09/09/22 inclusive.
