Covid-19 Symptoms:

A reminder that your child should not come to school if they have any of the following symptoms:

  • A fever (high temperature of 38 degrees Celsius and above)
  • A cough (this can be any cough, not just a dry cough)
  • Shortness of breath or breathing difficulties
  • Loss of change to your sense of smell and taste

If in doubt, please keep your child out!

General COVID-19 Information to Note:

  • Contact your GP if your child shows any Covid-19 symptom(s)
  • If your child is sent for testing, then the whole family needs to restrict movements until the test results are received, this includes all school going siblings.
  • If the test is negative, siblings may return to school. The child with symptoms must self isolate until 48 hours symptom free and clinically well enough to return to school.
  • If the test is positive, the child will continue to self-isolate until they are 5 days fever free and it has been 10 days since they first displayed symptoms. 
  • With a positive case, the HSE takes over directly and the school must respond to the directions given. Should there be any situation where a close contact is identified in the school, the HSE will contact you directly. 
  • Please know that in line with GDPR, the school will at no stage identify or discuss any positive cases identified. Please be aware that this is a Department directive. As a school, we will continue to respond to any DES and HSE directives and guidelines given. We appreciate your continued support on this moment.
  • Masks must be worn by all visitors entering our school yard and premises.
  • If dropping and collecting pupils, please leave the school grounds and disperse quickly. We continue to have a number of high risk members within our school community.
