IMPORTANT DATES
You will find a reminder of return dates/book rental collection/iPad collection in tables below.
HEALTH & SAFETY/COMMUNICATING
Advice from HSE and NPHET is that we continue with the practices adapted last September to help prevent the spread of Covid 19. We will update you on these before school opens. All students will require face masks.
All parents were sent a text on August 6th . If you did not receive this text, it is important that you let us know and we will resolve the issue. Please remember to notify us about any change of phone number/address/email/medical conditions etc.
PE UNIFORM SHOP IS OPEN
Our online PE Uniform Shop is now open.
You can access it on our website www.glenamaddycs.ie, or by clicking here or through
https://www.teamwear.ie/your-shop/glenamaddy-community-school.html
Regarding the wearing of PE clothes on one day per week (the day a student is timetabled for PE or Games), we will continue this practice, and pilot a scheme to introduce a PE Uniform. As mentioned in our last letter, we are asking everyone to make an effort to standardise the PE gear worn to school.
First Years should wear a tracksuit bottoms and top/t-shirt from the school online shop.
All other students are asked to order a tracksuit bottoms and t-shirt from this site, or wear a plain black or navy tracksuit bottoms, a plain white or blue (any shade of blue) top/t-shirt.
Students may wear runners on the day they have PE/Games. Plain black shoes and uniform to be worn on the other four days.
We continue to plan for a successful school year and thank you for all your cooperation in attaining this goal.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please get in touch by phone (094 96 59 315) or mail This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
