Dear Parents/Guardians, I hope you and your family are keeping well in these changing times. It was great to welcome back the Transition Years on Monday and I am looking forward to working with them this year. As in previous years TY students are on Work Experience every Friday. We are aware that finding placements this year may be more difficult and so we are in the process of setting up some “Online courses” for the students to complete on the Fridays that they have not secured a placement. Further details are attached in a pdf. If your student is fortunate to have obtained a work placement then letters for the employer which include the insurance indemnity are available on the school website: www.scoilmhuireclane.ie/blog/posts/73 - Simply download the letters and fill out for the employer and return to me Ms O’ Reilly (TY Year head and Work Experience Coordinator) Regards, Ms O’ Reilly

Dear Parent/Guardian, Please remind and instil in your student(s) the importance of physical distancing at this time. This is especially important when they are outside and appear to feel that physical distancing is not necessary. All students must continue to wear their face covering on the way out of school each day it is advised that they continue to wear it on the way home where physical distancing is not practised. There are separate arrangements on school transport. It is physically impossible to individually remind each student of their responsibilities especially when leaving the school. We are all in this together!

"Teachers will employ a range of approaches to reduce the need to bring textbooks to school for each subject everyday. •Students will be able to access textbooks using their phones/devices during class-time - however, WiFi may become slow and access could become intermittent •Students should download textbooks where possible. "Students are permitted to bring their phones/devices to school - it is not necessary to purchase a device - the school cannot accept any responsibility for the security of these devices. •Students will be only be permitted to use them in class when directed by a teacher. •Our mobile phone policy applies outside of these classes. •Students are not permitted to use their phones/devices outside of class-time." These are two extracts from the "Our Response to the Challenge of Covid 19" document. While students do not have to bring their textbooks to school, they may like to bring some. They should be used at home for homework, learning etc.There is no facility to store books in the school. Students must bring their copybooks and workbooks if required by their teacher. they will be instructed accordingly in their most recent lessons. All school textbooks can be accessed in the form of an eBook using any device - phone, tablet laptop etc. Instructions are on the publishers websites and on the inside of the cover of the books. Most of the publishers have Apps for smartphones/devices. Please help your students(s) to set this up over the weekend. All textbooks can be downloaded onto a tablet/laptop & desktop computers. The school is not in a position to supply devices to students. Students will be provided with access to the school WiFi by their teachers as required. This operates on a voucher system and is in one hour slots. The most desirable solution is for students to download the books onto a tablet or a laptop if they have access to one and bring that to school fully charged each day. Students can also take a photograph of the next few pages of their textbooks. We all have to be creative in these unusual times. Thank you for your ongoing support.
