RE: Drop-off and Collection Routines

The BoM and the School Leadership Team have been working to ensure a safe return to school for all pupils and staff on the 27th August.   We have now finalised our plans for drop-off and collection of the children every day.

St. Columbanus N.S. appreciates your support as we try to safely reopen the school building.

It is imperative that

  • adults do not come within 2m of each other
  • parents do not try to have meetings with members of staff in the playground at drop-off and collection times
  • all parents adhere to the drop-off and collection plans as outlined below

Drop-off Plan
Third, fourth, fifth and sixth classes will begin school at 8.55am
Senior Infants, First and second classes will begin at 9.05am
On the 27th and 28th of August Junior  Infants will begin at 9.15am
From 31st August on, Junior Infants will begin at 9am

Collection Plan
