Dear Parent/Carer,

REMINDER:

If you or anyone in your household develops covid symptoms the WHOLE HOUSEHOLD should ISOLATE until test results are received.  

Children should NOT come to school if they or someone in their household has covid symptoms or is awaiting test results.  

CHILD/REN WHO RECEIVE A NEGATIVE TEST RESULT:  

Children who receive a negative test may return to school providing they are well.   

CHILD/REN WHO RECEIVE A POSITIVE TEST RESULT: 

If the result is positive they and the WHOLE HOUSEHOLD must isolate for the number of days advised.  The school should then be contacted immediately during school hours on 3832 2450 and out of hours on 07783 300575

PARENT/S AWAITING A TEST RESULT: 

All of the household must STAY AT HOME and await the result.  If the result is negative the children may return to school.  If it is a positive result the whole household must isolate for the number of days advised and the school should be informed during school hours.

TRANSFER TO POST PRIMARY SCHOOLS SEPTEMBER 2022

TO ALL PRIMARY 6 PARENTS

Dear Parent/Carer,

As our parents will be aware the vast majority of our Primary 7 children transfer to Lurgan Junior High every year.

A small number do transfer to schools outside the Dickson Plan (Lurgan).  Any Primary 6 parent considering sending their son/daughter to a school outside Lurgan should contact and speak with me as soon as possible and before the 9^th October through the school secretary at 3832 2450.

Yours sincerely

Dear Parent/Carer,

UPDATED COVID-19 PROCEDURES

When in school if your child displays a high temperature/fever, loss of taste or smell or a new continuous cough, THEY AND ANY OTHER SIBLINGS IN SCHOOL WILL BE SENT HOME.  This is in accordance with the updated guidance for schools. 

The guidance states that a covid test should then be arranged for the child displaying the symptoms and the rest of the household must isolate at home and await the test results. 

The school should be informed as soon as the test results are received.

Once again we would request that pupils are NOT SENT TO SCHOOL IF THEY ARE UNWELL IN ANY WAY. 

Thank you for your co-operation.

Celebrating Parenting in Challenging Times

Monday 19th - Friday 23rd October

It's only one month to go before the launch of Parenting Week and we are so excited!  Due to the nature of 2020, we've organised a number of online activities and events for the week & created a pack of downloadable resources for you to enjoy at home or in the classroom.  We'll be hosting online coffee mornings, sharing Top Tips throughout the week, hosting competitions, and much more … Don't miss out!  Keep an eye on our social media during the week and get involved in all the excitement!

Parenting Week is a celebration of the important role parents play in their children's lives.  The week takes place every October, in 2020 Parenting Week will be from Monday 19th - Friday 23rd October.

As well as celebrating the amazing, and often difficult, job parents do, the week gives us as an organisation an opportunity to focus on the issues affecting parents and to highlight the support available.

2020 has been a challenging year for us all!  We wanted Parenting Week 2020 to acknowledge how difficult this year has been, while celebrating the incredible work parents do every day.  We hope to celebrate the positive moments that lockdown has brought and reflect on the importance of family and fostering strong relationships with your children.

Don't forget to use our hashtag #parentingweek on social media when sharing any of your creations during the week!
