Christmas Holidays

17-December-20

Dear Parents / Guardian,

As we know, things are a little different in St Mark’s JNS this year. Unfortunately, we will not have a Nativity play or our annual visit from the Garda Band but we do have some fun festive things lined up to make up for this.

Friday the 18th of December: All classes will get the opportunity to watch the Civic Theatre Christmas Panto. This will be streamed to all classrooms during the day. Children can wear Christmas jumpers or red on this day if they wish.

Monday the 21st: The Garda band have sent us a recording to share with the children and Tallaght Garda Station have dropped in some treats for us.

Tuesday the 22nd: The children will finish early on Tuesday 22nd December to start their well deserved Christmas break. Please see the reverse for details of your child’s finishing time.

In order to facilitate social distancing of children and adults at this time we will be staggering the home times. This will also limit the amount of children and adults going through the gates at any one time. We ask for your patience and support as we will be handing over all of our nearly 500 children in a short period of time and are very mindful of doing this as safely as possible.

We would ask that parents / guardians arrive only at their allocated time to avoid crowding and to limit the time required to dismiss the children. For parents collecting more than one child, please refrain from congregating on the school yard.

In other news, I will be going on maternity leave after Christmas and Mr Fennelly will be your acting principal for the remainder of the school year. Ms Sarah O’Brien will be acting Deputy Principal.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your cooperation and support this year in what have been the most challenging of circumstances for everyone. St. Mark’s JNS will continue to strive to keep the children learning in a safe and happy environment in 2021. Have a safe and happy Christmas and we look forward to seeing everyone back on the 6th of January.

Kind regards,

Deirdre Ni Bhroin
