Dear Class of 2020, I hope this finds you and your families safe and well. As you are aware, the Department of Education and Skills will issue the results of the Calculated Grades process tomorrow Monday, 7th September. You will be able to access the results from 9 a.m. via the online portal that you used in June .I appreciate that, yet again, this is a change from the normal way of collecting them from the school, but it will ultimately be more efficient and private for everyone. We hope that you will all be happy with the grades you receive. However, should you need help, our Guidance Counsellor will be available to provide advice and support. In line with Covid-19 regulations, access to our building is now restricted and by appointment only. If you wish to request help or support, please ring the school office and your call will be returned as soon as it is possible to do so. It is important to note that teachers will not be in a position to share any information or data on the estimated marking or ranking process or outcomes with any person or under any circumstances. We kindly ask that you respect this, as all Leaving Certificate 2020 students will be provided with access to the appeal process from Monday, 14th September. Wishing you the very best of luck on Monday. We will be thinking of you all. Kind Regards, Denis Ring

Covid Appendix to BCS Code Of Behaviour
Created : 04 Sep 2020, 3:50 PM
Archived : 04 Nov 2020, 12:00 AM
Appendix to BCS Code of Behaviour due to COVID 19 requirements The measures contained in this appendix are being implemented to reduce the risk of the spread of COVID-19 virus and to protect the safety, health and welfare of staff, students, parents, and visitors as far as possible within the school. The control measures shall continue to be reviewed and updated as required on an ongoing basis. 1. Students must wear cloth face coverings while in the school building, and at all other times when directed to do so by a member of staff of Blackwater Community School e.g. on school trips, on buses going to and from school and school activities etc. Face coverings must be worn, when indoors, during break and lunch times, except while eating and drinking. This rule does not apply to students who are exempt from wearing cloth face coverings on medical ground. Any exceptions can only be made following the provision of a GP’s letter. 2. Only appropriate face coverings will be acceptable – students whose face coverings are not deemed to be appropriate will be asked to change them. Inappropriate face masks include those with slogans and/or potentially offensive/humiliating/hurtful illustrations. 3 ply face coverings are strongly recommended. Snoods, scarves, and similar items are not permitted. 3. Cloth face coverings should be washed after every day of use and/or before being used again, or if visibly soiled. 4. Students must wash their hands or use hand sanitizer: o Before and after eating food o After coughing and sneezing o After using the toilet. o Where hands are dirty o Before and after wearing gloves o Before and after being on public transport o Before leaving home o When arriving/leaving the school/other sites o When entering a new classroom or if leaving a classroom before break or lunch. o After touching potentially contaminated surfaces o If in contact with someone displaying any COVID-19 symptoms. 6. Fingernails must be kept short and neat. False nails and/or nail jewellery are not permitted. This is to aid proper hand washing and sanitising. 7. Students should avoid touching their face, eyes, nose and mouth, cover coughs and sneezes with an elbow or tissue and dispose of tissues in the covered bins. 8. Students should NOT move the tables or chairs in the classrooms as they have been laid out to maintain a distance of at least 1 metre between students and between students and staff. 9. On entering a classroom student will sanitise their hands while maintaining a 1 metre distance and sit at their assigned desk. Students at the end of class are asked to clean down their own chair/desk and dispose of the wipe(s) used in the cleaning process in the bin provided. Students will be required to clean down equipment used in specialist rooms, keyboards etc. 10. When moving around the school, students must walk in a clockwise direction, inside and outside, according to the arrow/ signage indicators. 11. Students are required to social distance and adhere to capacity restrictions when using school toilets. 12. Students will not go downtown or across to the shop during school hours. All students must remain in their designated social areas during break times. The protective measures outlined above are being implemented to keep all members of our school community as safe as possible. Those who do not respect, or fail to implement, the measures properly put everybody’s safety at risk and that is unacceptable. In the event of students not complying with the regulations, their parent(s)/guardian(s) will be contacted and will be asked to take the student home. Face coverings must always be worn correctly in the school building. From the outset we are setting out a ‘zero-tolerance’ approach relating to students making inappropriate comments or noises from behind their face coverings. If such a situation arises, is will be deemed to be an abuse of one our main lines of defence against COVID-19 and therefore a blatant disregard for the safety of others. The sanction for such behaviour will be immediate suspension. Signed: Declan Doocey ​​​Date: 03/08/2020 Chairperson Board of Management
