Welcome Back - Autumn 2021

Published on Tuesday 31st August 2021

Hello again everyone - hopefully you all managed to enjoy the summer months just passed. We did get some beautiful weather and I'm sure you all made the best of it....lots of beach time and ice-cream, with plenty of sunscreen too!!

We are very excited at the school to welcome all our children and families back for another year. A really special "Welcome" goes out to all our new Junior Infants and their families. We know you will get off to a great start and hope that it is the beginning of four wonderful years at the Junior School. We also, of course, wish our ex-second class pupils all the best as they transfer to the Senior School - we'll look out for you around the campus.

As always, we will keep the website up to date with all the important information you need, along with highlights of all that goes on throughout the busy school year, so check back regularly.

First up, we have published an updated list of teacher email addresses - these will replace the temporary addresses that were in use up to now. The list is available at the link at the top of each web page or you can go direct by clicking HERE.

Please note the main school email address has also changed to admin@holyfamilyjns.ie

We have returned to school under the same conditions as existed last year in the fight against COVID-19. We hope, as time goes on and the situation improves, that we can begin to return to school life as close to as it was, pre-pandemic. In the meantime, we appreciate everyone's continued co-operation with the arrangements that are in place.

Have a great year everyone!!
