SCHOOL NEWS in Brief…..
20th June 2019
From the Principal’s desk:
I would like to thank everyone for their involvement in our Active Week last week. It was a huge success – which culminated in us being granted the Active Schools Flag, which will be presented to us at a later date. Thanks to all the children, staff and parents for making this initiative so worthy and enjoyable throughout the year!
I would like to say a fond farewell to Marguerite Ryan, who will be retiring this year. Marguerite has worked in RMDS over the last 20 years. We thank her for all her dedication over the years to RMDS and for her energy and enthusiasm which will be missed throughout the school. We wish her wellness and happiness as she starts this exciting new chapter of her life. Go n-éirí an t-ádh leat Marguerite!
A reminder that Rang 6’s Graduation ceremony takes place tomorrow morning at 9.30 a.m.
End of Year Reports should have arrived in the post today. If you do not receive your child’s report by tomorrow, please contact the office. If you have any queries, please contact the class teacher in the first instance.
Our annual end of year Summer Newsletter will issue in the bags next week! Keep an eye out! J
School will close for the summer next Thursday, 27th June at midday.
Please check for lost property at the gate in the morning.
All items left at the weekend will be donated to charity.
