Daily Routine (after the first 2 weeks):
If your child is upset:
The first 2 weeks of school:
- For the 1st week Junior Infants will be in school from 10am until 12pm.
- For the 2nd week they will be in school from 8:45am until 12pm.
- For the first 2 weeks you will be dropping off and collecting your child at the church entrance / staff car park side of the school.
- This allows them to gradually settle in. Please be on time for dropping and collecting at home time. Reminders will be sent out on the Aladdin Connect mobile app.
Daily Routine (after the first 2 weeks):
- 8:45am - Children line up at the Junior/Senior infants door (located at the church entrance/ staff carpark). Teacher meets the children and walks them into their classroom.
- 10:15 am - Children have a small snack and go to the yard.
- 12:15pm - Children have their lunch and go to the yard.
- 1:30pm - Children are walked out to the big yard to where their parent/ guardian collects them.
- It is very important that your child is dropped to school and collected on time every day.
If your child is upset:
- Even though we do our very best to prepare the children for starting their new school, some children will become upset in the first few days.
- If your child is upset, don't panic. There is always school staff on hand to help your child.
- When you have reassured your child leave as quickly as possible.
- If you wish, you can call the school or the HSCL teacher and most of the time you will find they have settled well into their school day!
