We wish all of our staff, pupils and their families a Happy Easter! Our school will close on Friday, 22nd March at 12.15pm and re-open on Monday, 8th April at 8.45am.
Hot lunches are due to start sometime after Easter. The provisional date we have been given is the week of the 15th April. Ovens have been installed on both sites. Lunch boxes have arrived to the school and will be given to the children on the first day the hot lunches are served. Please remember to send in that lunchbox every day so that children can bring home any leftovers and please ensure your child's name is visible on the lunchbox always. Each child will receive an individual code which will be sent home to you before the launch date so that you can order their preferred lunches. Your child will still need to bring a small snack for break time and a drink. If you have any queries regarding the lunches, please email info@thelunchbag.ie and they will be happy to help.

Tesco Token Collection
As part of its Community Fund, every 12 weeks, each Tesco store donates up to €2,000 between three local good causes in its community. A donation box for tokens for our school is currently in situ in Tesco Roscommon. We would be very grateful if you could support our school by depositing tokens when you next shop in Tesco and helping us gain extra funding through this initiative.

New Primary Mathematics Curriculum - Information for Parents
The aim of the new Primary Mathematics Curriculum is that children see maths as important and useful to their everyday lives.
It is essential that parents/guardians are made aware of the changes to the curriculum that have taken place to date and what will be happening over the years to come. In this regard the Department of Education, in collaboration with the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA), the National Council for Special Education (NCSE) and the Professional Development for Teachers (PDST), has developed a leaflet which is designed to introduce these changes and encourage parent/guardians to engage in the future consultations seeking feedback on the draft curriculum areas and subjects of the new curriculum.
The leaflet is presented in many languages. Please select one to read information about the new Primary Mathematics Curriculum.
