Absences, Early Collection, Late Arrival

Early Collection

When it is necessary for your child to leave school early, the class teacher must be informed (with as much advance notice as possible). When collecting a child, parents/guardians are asked to call to the Secretary’s Office/Reception. The child/children will be called from the classroom and will meet the parent/guardian at the front door. Any person collecting a child on behalf of the parent/guardian will only be permitted to take the child if the parent/guardian has contacted the school beforehand. 

Absences

In the event of your child being absent for illness or any other reason, the school/class teacher must be informed. This can be done through the Aladdin app. A record of this is retained on file for inspection by Tusla Child & Family Agency if required. It is very important that your child misses as few days of school as possible so please bear this in mind before booking holidays. 

When a child is unwell or has an infectious illness, he/she should not attend school.

Illness

When a child is unwell or has an infectious illness, he/she should not attend school.

If a child becomes ill during school, a parent will be contacted.  Please ensure your child has an emergency contact also.

The school adheres to HSE advice regarding any infectious diseases.
