An Ghaeilge sa Scoil Tá na páistí (idir óg is aosta) ar fheabhas chun an Ghaeilge a labhairt mórthimpeall na scoile. Labhair Gaeilge leo sa bhaile má bhíonn leath-sheans agaibh le bhur dtoil. I love hearing parents speaking any amount of Gaeilge they may have around the school. Comhghairdeas libh & keep it up. Can you also remind your child the importance of speaking as Gaeilge i nGaelscoil Uí Ríordáin at all times? Go raibh mile maith agaibh for your support.

Earraí Caillte (Lost & Found)

An cuma libh ainm do pháiste a chur ar chótaí agus ar

gheansaithe le do thoil? Please ensure that your child’s name is on his/her cóta and geansaí scoile. It is also recommended

to write your child’s name on any hoodies or sweatshirts that

they wear to school on tracksuit day.

‘Slán aguS beannacht leat, a bhríd ó thír na nóg’

Guímid gach rath ar Bhríd Ní Chonchubhair, leas-phríomhoide

na scoile (Deputy Principal) a d’éirigh as (retired) um Cháisc.

Bhí Bríd ag múineadh anseo i nGaelscoil Uí Ríordáin (teaching) ó

1984. Tréaslaimíd agus gabhamíd buíochas leí as an éacht oibre

atá déanta aici do scoláirí agus do phobal Ghaelscoil Uí Ríordáin.

Fáilte Cuirim fáilte Ui Cheallaigh (warm welcome) roimh Mhicheál Ó Draighneáin ár

leas-phríomhoide nua a thosnóidh linn ar an Luan 27/05/2019. Is tuismitheoir (parent) é

i nGaelscoil Uí Ríordáin agus is príomhoide Scoil Bhaile Nóra é le fada an lá. Tá

sean-aithne (well known) ag alán agaibh air mar go bhfuil cónaí air sa pharóiste agus tá

sé gafa le cúrsaí spóirt sa cheantar (locality). Go n-éirí go geal leat a Mhichíl!!

Ionad Votála (Polling Station)

Ní bheidh na páistí ar scoil Aoine

24/05/19 mar go n-úsáidfear an scoil mar

stáisiún vótála. Due to the school being used as a voting station for the referendum & elections on Friday 24/05/19 children will not have school that day.)

Súgradh sa Pháirc Uile-Aimsire (Astro) 3:00– 4:00

Tá fáilte roimh do pháiste imirt, sa pháirc Uile-aimsire óna 3:00 - 4:00i.n. le tuismitheoir/caomhnoir, nuair a bhíonn sé saor.

Bíonn an pháirc i gcónaí saor ar an Aoine.

Children are very welcome to play in the Astro with their parents/guardian from 3:00– 4:00 when it’s free. It’s al-

ways free on a Friday evening.

Due to Health and Safety & Insurance Considerations children must be supervised at all times by an adult. The school

An féidir liom a mheabhrú díobh arís a thuismitheoirí le bhur dtoil an tábhacht a bhaineann le h-aireacht na bpáistí agus iad taobh istigh de gheataí na scoile? (The safety of our children within the school is my priority and I am particularly concerned during collection times.)

I would like to draw your attention to the following: 1. Pedestrian crossing: Please be vigilant of children using the pedestrian crossings and advise children not to

use the crossing directly inside the gate. I would rather this crossing to serve as a speedramp only. 2. Continuous circling of the Gáirdín Orgánach (Organic Garden) can cause traffic build-up in the afternoons.

There is ample parking to the rear of the building. Please use the car parks provided. 3. Staff car park is strictly for staff only. As the number of spaces is limited I cannot allow parking by anyone

other than staff in this area. Your co-operation would be greatly appreciated le do thoil. 4. Please do not use the Entry gate when leaving the carpark at the rear of the school. Use Exit gate only le do

thoil. 5. I would appreciate your consideration in not blocking the driveways of neighbouring houses when dropping

and collecting your children.

Ba mhaith liom mo bhuíochas a ghabháil le gach éinne atá chomh cabhrach agus foighneach le sábháilteacht na bpáistí agus leis an bpáirceáil. (Many thanks to all of you for being patient, co-operative & careful at all times.)
