N.B. TABHAIR FAOI DEARA / PLEASE NOTE:
Páistí ag fágáil na scoile/Children leaving school premises during school day
Ar mhaithe le hÁrachas, is gá go ndéanfar aon pháiste a bhíonn bailithe i rith uaireanta scoile a shíniú amach. Tá an leabar chuige seo ar fáil san oifig. Ní féidir aon eisceacht a dhéanamh. Ní gá iad a shíniú isteach arís ná i gcás páiste atá déanach is leor nóta ná glaoch gutháin. Freisin, tá sé fíor-thábhactach go mbíonn sonraí teagmhála tuistí againn do gach pháiste sa scoil. Má tá aon chuid athraithe le déanaí, cuir Muireann san oifig ar an eolas faoi láithreach, le bhur dtoil.
For Insurance reasons, any child collected from school within school hours MUST be signed out. A book for this purpose is held in the office. No exceptions please. There is no necessity to sign the child back in to school if they are returning from an appointment or if they are coming in late. A note/phone call to explain delay is sufficient. Also, it is imperative that the school has a contact number of a parent/guardian for each child, which is accessible at all times. If you have changed/updated any of your contact details recently, please let Muireann in the school office know immediately, thank you.
AN CARRCHLÓS/SCHOOL CAR PARK
Ar mhaithe le Sábháilteacht agus riaradh an carrchlóis, bheimis buíoch ach go dtabharfadh tuismitheoirí aird ar na nithe seo a leanas:
To ensure safety at all times in the car-park, we would ask parents to pay careful attention to the following points.
Is córas aon-bhealach atá ann – casann tú ar chlé nuair a thagann tú isteach an geata.
A one-way system is in operation. Turn left when you come in the gate.
Ná stop in aon áit seachas spás pairceála chun do pháistí a scaoileadh amach; tá stopadh ag an mballa beag ag cur bac ar thrácht agus ar na busanna.
It is not safe to stop anywhere other than in a parking space to let your child(ren) out of the car. Also, stopping at the small wall in front of the school causes a backlog of traffic and prevents buses getting through. Please be considerate of other drivers.
Tráthnóna: fág na spásanna taobh leis an gcosán saor dona busanna.
Afternoons – please leave car spaces beside the footpath free for buses. This is very important for the safety of the children boarding buses.
Chomh fada agus is féidir, ba choir do pháistí/tuistí an cosán a úsáid.
As far as is possible, please make use of the footpath.
Chabhródh sé le plódú ar maidin agus tráthnóna dá mbeadh daoine sásta síobanna a roinnt!
It would be extremely helpful to prevent congestion if “car-pooling” could be arranged among families who live close to one another.
Generally, we urge you to please drive with care and to come in the school gates at a slow speed. Also, you must follow the road around to the left to avoid accidents. Thank you.
N.B.!!
Ailléirge Cnó – Nut Allergy
Tá roinnt páistí óga sa scoil atá ailéirgeach le cnónna le bagairt frithghníomh ailléirgeach géar. Ós rud é gur féidir le seo bheith baolach don bheatha, iarraimid bhur gcabhair an riosca a íoslaghdú dona páistí trí:
- gan cnónna a bheith ag do pháiste don lón,
- gan Nutella (leathadh seacláide déanta le cnónna coill) ná im piseanna talún a úsaid,
- gan sneaiceanna / barraí ina bhfuil cnónna nó a lipéadaítear ” rianta cnó” a bheith i lónta scoile, agus
- gan lón a roinnt.
Toisc déine na faidhbe, tá sé tábhachtach go gcuirfidh gach tuismitheoir i gcrích na bearta molta agus an baol frithghníomhú ailléirgeach a laghdú dona páistí seo.
Tá polasaí lóin sláintiúil i bhfeidhm i nGaelscoil Chnoc na Ré agus ar an gcúis sin iarraimid oraibh gan milseáin, criospaí, deochanna súilíneacha, borróga, muifíní, císte, iógairt seacláide ná barraí arbhair a thabhairt don lón ach oiread.
Gabhaimid buíochas leat as bhur gcomhoibriú.
Please note that a number of children in the school have a severe allergic reaction to peanuts/nuts. This allergic reaction (anaphylactic shock) can occur through ingestion of peanut/nut products, cross contamination and breathing peanuts in the air. Since this condition can be life threatening, we are asking for your help in minimising the risk to these children by:
- Avoiding giving children peanuts in school lunches
- Avoiding giving peanut butter sandwiches, as well as other spreads containing nuts such as Nutella
- Avoiding giving snacks/bars containing nuts or labelled “may contain nut traces” in school lunches
- Asking children not to share their lunches.
Due to the severity of the problem, it is important that all parents carry out the suggested measures and reduce the risk of allergic reaction to these children.
We have a healthy eating policy in Gaelscoil Chnoc na Ré and for that reason we ask that sweets, crisps, fizzy drinks, buns, muffins, slices of cake, chocolate yogurts or cereal bars NOT be given for lunch.
We thank you for your co-operation.
