This process will provide a forum for talking about positive and negative behaviours to help students understand the emotional impact of their actions and

This is a reminder that the school is closed on Monday the 5th of October.

Due to industrial action beginning on Monday, individual teacher emails will not be monitored at this time. We ask that you continue to submit any student queries or concerns through the school app.

Any phone queries should also be directed through the school office only, rather than to individual teacher lines.

The 3rd year parent meeting is cancelled for the 6th of October.

Furthermore, there is a potential school closure day on 14th October due to the proposed public-service-wide day of strike action. Should this action proceed, there will not be sufficient staff available to safely supervise students and, as a result, the school will remain closed to students on that day. Further confirmation will be provided as soon as it becomes available.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this time and will keep parents/guardians informed of any further updates or changes as they arise.

Thank you for your continued support.

Longford Branch Library on Wednesday, 7th October at 7pm.

Mary will discuss ‘School Based Anxiety and Distress.’

In this talk Mary explains how anxiety impacts children’s brains and bodies and discusses how parents can work with children and teens to move them beyond a state of fight of flight. She then covers the topic of school-based distress, explaining the difference between can’t and won’t; considering school trauma and burnout; and why some of our children do not thrive in the school environment. The aim is to shift the focus from control and attendance to building trust, understanding and emotional safety.

This talk is suitable for both primary and secondary school parents/guardians.

Booking is essential for this event online at www.longfordlibraryl.ie or by phone at 043 3340727.
