School Closure Update
Dear Parents/Guardians,
I hope you are all keeping safe and well. I know that, like all of us here in St. Paul's JNS, you are very much looking forward to a return to normal. Hopefully, if we all continue with our social distancing, hand-washing and cough etiquette, that will be sooner rather than later.
There is no doubt that this is a challenging and worrying time for us all. We do not in any way want school or school work to add to those burdens. We are acutely aware that the health and wellbeing of our pupils and school family is of the utmost importance. In these unprecedented times I can assure you that we in St. Paul's will do everything we can to help and support our pupils, you their parents/guardians and each other through these strange times.
Minister McHugh has this morning announced that schools will remain closed after March 29th. We have not yet been given a proposed date for this extension. Should this closure remain in place post-Easter please be assured that we will prepare lessons for the boys and girls through our school blog. Please keep an eye on the website for any further updates.
In the mean time please take care. E. Mc Nulty and staff.

School Library
Ms Brown, Mrs O'Hanlon and Ms McCabe have done great work updating our school library. It is a bright, child friendly and accessible space. We have lots of wonderful books for the children to enjoy. There will be a few more additions in the coming weeks. Keep an eye for updates.
Working Together in our School Community
The children from 1st and 2nd Class worked with the children from Junior Infants and Senior Infants to show the importance of school community. It was great to make some new friends from different classes. They really did a wonderful job!

Thank you to everyone who joined us on Grandparents Day. We hope that you enjoyed your visit to St. Paul's.
We had a visit from the wonderful Garda Band on Tuesday 7th of January. There was lots of clapping, singing and even some dancing from the teachers. A big thank you to the Garda Band for their visit.
St Paul's Student Council
On Tuesday 8th October, St. Paul's Student Council met for the first time. The council is made up of two representatives from each class. They will bring ideas from their class to each council meeting. These ideas will be shared with the adults in the school community. They will also keep their classmates updated on events that are planned within the school. The first meeting was a resounding success and we look forward to our next meeting.
Please keep an eye on the school website for updates.
