Cyber Safety Talk for Parents
Sincere thanks to Carrie for the Cyber Safety talk for parents. Carrie has kindly shared the presentation, which is attached to this email. She also shared a video: https://vimeo.com/71807752. All the resources shared in the session are available here: https://www.cybersafekids.ie/research/ (scroll down to the bottom to the section called “Downloads”). We hope to organise another session on this important topic in the new academic year.

Last Day of the School Year
The last day of the school year will be Wednesday, 30th June. We will have an early dismissal. Junior and Senior Infants will finish at 11.50. The older classes will finish at 12.00. Afterschool @ KETNS will operate as normal.

Special Events to Mark the End of the Year
In addition to lots of excursions to the park and woods, we will organise one more special. An ice cream van will come to the school on Tuesday, 29th June. This is another surprise for the children, so please keep this quiet. Each child will have the option of an ice cream cone or a slushy. If for dietary or allergy reasons neither of these options is suitable for your child, please let us know by replying to this email so we can arrange a suitable alternative. Sincere thanks to Board of Management for funding this.

End-of-Year Reports
The end-of-year reports will be available from tomorrow morning on Aladdin Connect. Please feel free to email your child’s teacher if you have any questions or concerns to request a phone call. If you have any difficulty accessing the reports, please phone the school or reply to this email.

Parental Involvement Policy
Apologies for not sending the draft policy. It is now attached. Feedback is welcome by replying to this email. The policy will be considered by Board of Management at the next meeting.

Summer Camps
Afterschool @ KETNS will be organising camps during the month of August in the school. Please contact Jenni if you would like more information. Secondly, there will be a yoga and art camp during two weeks in August in the school. The information is below.
