Dear Mams and Dads,
Late yesterday evening, the Department of Education sent a letter to schools about mask wearing for 3rd to 6th Class pupils. Lots of points are still unclear, and when we have had further guidance, we will contact you. In the meantime, we will continue with our policy of doing everything we can to keep the girls and the staff safe.
This week, teachers will talk to the girls abut mask-wearing. They will explain how to put on and take off masks safely and we will do everything we can to re-assure anyone who is feeling a bit upset or anxious. This little video may be helpful for you in talking to your children about mask wearing.
There is lots of discussion in the media, with lots of different opinions being aired so I would ask you please, to keep calm and wait for further updates from our school.
Thank you, as always, for your great support and co-operation. Things change every day, and it can be hard to keep up sometimes, but if we continue to work together for the benefit of the girls, I am sure that we can make our way safely through the next few weeks up to the Christmas break.
Yours sincerely,
C. O’Reilly
