Urgent Notice- delay in the opening of the school building

Posted on August 21, 2019 by Fiona Hayden

Dear Parents/Guardians

I am sorry to inform you that we have been informed by the Department of Education that there will be a delay in the opening of the school building.

We have been given initial instruction by the Department of Education that due to the volume of works across all schools, the Department will not be in a position to hand the school back to us as scheduled.

The school will now re-open to students on Friday the 6th September.

I acknowledge the difficulties that this places on families. Unfortunately, this situation is beyond the school’s control.

This situation will affect start times for Junior Infants. We will be in touch with Junior infants parents with revised times.

The BOM would like to point out that these delays are unavoidable due to the delay in the building being handed back  and we thank you in advance for your understanding and patience.

 

Kind Regards,

Lynn Hicks

Consent must be updated for the new school year.

Children from Ashbourne ETNS are permitted to walk home from 3rd Class up with parental permission. Should you, as parents/guardians, feel your child is responsible enough to walk home please give consent via the Aladdin app or alternatively print the form below and ensure your child has this with them on the first day of school.

No child will be allowed to walk home without prior consent from a parent or guardian. The attached form can also be used to grant permission for older siblings to collect their brothers or sisters in 1st or 2nd Class.

This form can also be found under the Parent Info tab above.
