Collection of Textbooks from the School
Our teachers have been in school on Monday and Tuesday packing text books for their classes. We are asking parents collect these books on Thursday and Friday of this week, following the timetable below. There are quite a number of books to be collected, so we advise that you bring a shopping bag with you to assist in carrying them home.
Plan for coming to the school
Parents will be asked to the school at the time and day allocated below, starting with the oldest children in 6th class and moving down through the school.
Parents can also collect younger sibling’s packs at this time too.
The packs will be available in the Community Centre, with a one-way system in operation. While staff will be there to assist in the process, your child’s teacher may not be there at your allocated time.
Health and Safety Considerations
While we are returning these books to facilitate your child’s learning, we ask you to be aware that we are doing so at a time when infection rates are extremely worrying. Therefore we must insist that all visitors to the school obey strict public health guidance.
• These collections will be contactless and in the interest of everyone’s health and safety, we ask you to please follow these guidelines:
• We ask that parents, not children, come to the school to collect the packs. Where possible, parents should not bring children with them.
• Pedestrian access only will be available at these times.
• Please only come to collect your child’s books at the allocated time.
• Please ensure that social distancing is maintained at all times.
• Please sanitise your hands on entering the school hall.
• There will be a one way system in place on the campus and staff will be on the school
grounds to direct parents safely to and from the collection point, please follow their directions.
Face Coverings Mandatory
All visitors to the school must wear a face covering. Access to the school will be denied to visitors not wearing a face covering . If you have been given an exemption from wearing a face covering, please email the school in advance at school@hopens.ie
If you are not in a position to come to the school at these times to collect your child’s books or if, for health and safety reasons you need to drive to the campus please let us know by emailing us at school@hopens.ie and we will arrange an alternative time for you. If you have any concerns about any of the above, please let us know.
We must emphasize the importance of maintaining social distancing while on the campus and following the instructions of staff at all times.
Take care and stay safe,
Enda McGorman
