Tá súil againn go bhfuil sibh ag baint taitneamh as na laethanta saoire. Athosclóidh an scoil Dé Máirt 31 Lúnasa 2021 @ 8.40r.n. agus táimid ag súil go mór le fáilte a chur romhaibh ar ais agus roimh na páistí nua a bheidh ag tosú linn. Tuigimid go mbeimid ag filleadh tar éis an tsamhraidh faoi phrótacail agus socruithe comhchosúla a bhí i bhfeidhm i rith na bliana, ie teacht agus imeacht tuislithe, níocháin láimhe, sláintíocht, sosanna lóin tuislithe, srl. Beidh níos mó sonraí againn go luath agus beimid i teagmháil ansin.
Hopefully everyone is enjoying the holidays. School reopens on TUESDAY August 31st 2021 @ 8.40 a.m. and we look forward to welcoming you back as well as the new children who will be joining us. We understand that we will be returning after the summer under similar protocols and arrangements that have been in place during the year, i.e. staggered arrival and dismissal, handwashing, sanitising, staggered lunch breaks etc. We are expecting directions from the Department in the coming weeks and will update you soon after.

AN BORD BAINISTÍOCHTA/BOARD of MANAGEMENT
Re: School Financing and Operation/Maoiniú agus Feidhmiú na Scoile
Mar is eol daoibh, bíonn maoiniú do scoileanna mar dheacracht i gcónaí agus níl aon eisceacht ann i dtaobh Gaelscoil Chnoc na Ré, ach go háirithe le deontais na Roinne laghdaithe go mór le déanaí. I mbliana, teastaíonn ón mBord Bainistíochta an gannchion airgid i dtaca le costais oibriúcháin na scoile a láimhseáil le ranníocaíocht dheonach. Leanfaidh tuismitheoirí Cairde leo ag eagrú gníomhaíochtaí tiomsaithe airgid a bheidh dírithe ar fhorbairt na scoile ar bhonn leanúnach. Tá rátaí na ranníocaíochta socraithe againn mar a bhí ann anuraidh, ’sé sin: Teaghlach le páiste amháin €70
Teaghlach le beirt pháiste €100
Teaghlach le triúr páistí ar a laghad €110
Cé gur féidir an t-airgead a íoc ón lá a fhaigheann tú an litir seo, tá fhios againn go bhfuil brú airgid ar dhaoine, mar sin iarrfar ort an t-airgead a íoc ina dhá chuid, is é sin €35, €50 nó €55 ag brath ar an méid páistí ón teaghlach atá ag freastal ar an scoil. Beidh an dá chuid le híoc faoin 30ú Meán Fómhair 2021 agus 1ú Márta 2022. Beimid ag brath ar lántacaíocht uaibhse chun ár sprioc-ioncam a bhaint amach.
Shocraíomar na rátaí ag leibhéal chomh híseal agus ab fhéidir i ngeall ar an staid eacnamaíoch faoi láthair. Níl a bhac ort ranníocaíocht níos airde a íoc más acmhainn duit agus bheimis an-bhuíoch díot as ucht do fhlaithiúlachta agus do thiomantais don scoil. Mura bhfuil ar do chumas an méid thuasluaite a íoc áfach, mholfaimis duit dul chun cainte le Micheál. Is eadraibh amháin a bheidh an comhrá agus coinneofar faoi rún é. Ar mhaithe le cothramaíocht, ta sé i gceist ag an mBord meabhráin a eisiúint más gá i gcásanna nach bhfuil teagmháil déanta le Mícheál mar atá leagtha amach thuas.
——————————————————————————————
As you are well aware, funding for schools is an annual issue and Gaelscoil Chnoc na Ré is no exception. Department of Education & Skills grant aid has reduced considerably in recent years.This year the Board of Management again seeks to raise the shortfall in school operating costs by way of the voluntary contribution. Cairde fund raising will be dedicated to the continued development of the school. We aim to raise an amount of €9,000 and have decided that voluntary contribution rates for the current year will be retained at last year’s levels ie
- Family with one child only €70
Family with two children €100
Family with three or more children €110
While payment may be made from the date of this letter, we are extremely conscious that there are many costs facing each of us we will seek payment in two moieties in equal amounts of €35, €50 or €55 depending on the number of children from your family attending the school. The final dates for payment of each moiety are 30th September 2021 and 1st March 2022. Achieving our target income will require your full support.
We have kept the rates as low as possible, conscious of the current economic conditions. If you are in a position to contribute at a higher rate we would encourage you to do so and will be greatly appreciative of your generosity and commitment to the school. Equally however if your circumstances are such that making a contribution in the amount stated above, is a burden you cannot now meet, please talk to Mícheál. Such discussions will be entirely between you and him and will remain totally confidential to you both. To ensure equity to all parents/guardians it is the Board’s intention to issue reminders where payment is not made and where no communication as described above is made to and agreed with Michéal.
