30 August 2022 One More Sleep! We are really looking forward to welcoming our pupils back to school tomorrow morning. We can’t wait to meet all the new children in Junior Infants and children in all other classes throughout the school starting with us for the first time. Céad Míle Fáilte! Junior Infants: We will welcome you at 10am in the school yard. Children will make their way to their rooms through the blue doors and parents can come back to collect them at 12midday. All other classes: School gates will open at 8.50am and children can make their way independently to their rooms from the green gate. There will be lots of teachers available to point children in the right direction. School finishes at the usual time of 1.40/2.40pm. Please take note the car park is always a little bit busier on the first few days. There are also roadworks on the Dublin Road. The forecast is good so it might be nice to walk to school if you can. All the Ard Rí team have been busy getting the school ready for the new year. The place is looking lovely! For anyone who might be feeling a bit nervous just remember- ‘Come in and do your best- teacher does the rest!’ Let’s go! Darragh Staff photo August 2022 August 2022 Dia duit gach duine, The return to school is just around the corner. I hope you are all enjoying the fine weather. Preparations for the beginning of a new school year are getting underway. I want to provide you with some quick reminders and updates. School reopens...Staffing Arrangements for 2022/23
Staffing arrangements were announced to schools in Circular Letter 0025/2022 We must have a few pupils over 312 enrolled at the school at the end of next September. It’s going to be tight!! Our current predicted enrolment for next academic year is 312 pupils. At Ard Rí CNS we currently have 11 mainstream classrooms. To maintain a 12th teacher in 2022/23 we must have 309 pupils enrolled on 30th of September 2022. To gain a 13th teacher for 2023/24 we have to have 312 pupils enrolled on 30th September 2022. Having the 12th and 13th teacher is crucial for maintaining good pupil teacher ratio and avoiding the need to teach classes in multi-grade as our school grows. Unfortunately we do not have places available in every class. Word of mouth is the most effective way to promote our school. If you meet anyone who is looking for a school place in September please encourage them to choose Ard Rí CNS, to email [email protected] and I will be happy to support them. Thank...New Entrants- September 2022
May 2022 Hi everyone, It was lovely to meet so many of you at our Open House on Wednesday. There was a great buzz about the place and I hope your little one’s first experience of Ard Rí CNS was a really positive one. If you didn’t manage to make it and you’d like to pop in to see us please call and we can arrange an appointment for you. ‘Mo Scéal’ is Irish for ‘My Story’. Each child has reached a very important milestone in their lives. Most children complete two years at pre-school and in that time the pre-school teacher gains a vast fund of knowledge on each child. Nobody knows a child better than their parents. We have created online forms for Early Years Practitioners and Parents, accessible through the QR codes on the downloadable letter or the links below. We ask you share the QR Code/ links with your child’s preschool teacher. Once completed, we can better plan for each child to begin to learn in a way that best suits them. Mo-Sceal-May-2022Download Parent Survey Early Years Practitioner Survey The next step on your child’s journey is the Ard Rí Summer Camp. The camp runs from 27th June to 1st July and offers sports, art, drama and creative activities in a structured environment run by our own experienced teachers. Children will lose themselves in the fun of it all as they go from one lively task to another. You can apply through the online Application Form below.
