FYI Parents of relevant students:

As your Transition Year girls have done a coding workshop with us (https://www.codeplusireland.ie/), either this year or in the previous two years, I am writing to let you know of a webinar we are running specifically for parents/guardians on Monday Dec. 4th at 8 p.m.

 

Some parents may be interested in finding out more about careers in the tech industry, and the webinar will be of interest. 

 

The webinar will last about 40 minutes. Two women who work in the technology industry will speak about their school days, college life, career path and their present jobs.

 

There will be an opportunity for parents and guardians to ask questions of the speakers.

 

The link for parents to sign up to is https://forms.gle/RWR6A5kgmdRc8xyY8

Attendance & Punctuality

Dear Parents, Guardians & Students, thank you to the vast majority who have very good attendance and timekeeping. Currently, signing in late is an issue for some. While this is fully understandable on occasion when a bus is late for example, however, this needs to improve for those who are often late.

 

We appreciate your support in student getting to school on time which avoids unnecessary stress in beginning the day and also disruption to classes which are underway.
