Dear Parent/ Guardian
I hope you and your family are keeping well. This year has been a difficult one for children, parents and school staff and I’m delighted to report that the children are well settled in school and we are all relieved to return to a little normality.

Please continue to support the school by following the guidelines around the school gates. All parents, unless medically exempt, should be wearing a face covering and adhering to social distancing. Please ensure that any adult picking up your child is aware of this.

The workshop which is run by REIM in conjunction with the Community Partnership and the PSNI will involve children from Tannaghmore, St. Francis’ and St. Theresa’s Primary Schools. We are very aware of the importance of passing on the skills that the children will need to navigate the online world safely and we are very pleased to be able to offer this workshop. An electronic permission slip will be text out to parents.
