  Thu 23 Apr 2020

  Given the uncertainty of the current situation, the Education Authority will issue 'notification of placement' letters for P1 and Pre-School to parents to arrive on 29 April 2020.

Guidance on how to log in and access placement offers will be accessible on the EA website.

   

  If you are accepting the place, we would appreciate if you could email the school at fconnolly588@c2kni.net to confirm your acceptance.

   

  Further induction information about the induction arrangements will be forwarded later.  

  Should you require any further advice, the EA's Admissions staff will be available via the Helpdesk:- Telephone number 028 9598 5595, available from 9am – 5pm Monday to Friday.

  A few points to remember:

  1. This is an unprecedented emergency impacting on the whole world but what each of us does can make a difference.
  2. While this 'new' normal presents many challenges, this phase will pass more quickly if we all practice safe-distancing and hand hygiene.
  3. We all want to be back at work but this can only be done in a manner that doesn't facilitate the spread of the infection in the community.
  4. Please connect your child's teacher if you aren't sure about any aspect of the work sent home.
  5. Keep the Health Care workers in your thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.
