Dear Parents,
An announcement was made this morning by the Taoiseach Leo Varadkar of the closure from Friday 13 March, of schools, pre-schools and further and higher education settings, for a period until March 29th, 2020, to support efforts to contain the spread of Covid-19. This is in line with the advice of the National Public Health Emergency Team.
Scoil Chormaic will close today and not reopen for a period until March 29th pending review by the Department of Education.
All pupils are urged to practice social distancing, and to minimise physical contact with each other, to help avoid the spread of Covid-19. This should include minimising social contact, avoiding meeting up and keeping physical space between them. Parents and guardians are urged to support their children to maintain this approach.
In order to minimise the impact on teaching and learning a programme of learning has been developed for each class level. Full details on this will be sent in a further communication.
Please note that all communication with parents will be via the school website with a text message notification.
The school office will not be open. The school will be fully closed as requested by the Department of Education.
