Dear parents,
The HSE’s Health Protection Surveillance Centre (HPSC) have requested that we bring the following website/information to your attention:
The HSE.ie/coronoavirus site has the latest public information on COVID-19. The HSE (Under the weather website has also been updated (www.undertheweather.ie) This website focuses on managing common illnesses and encourages people to self - manage simple illnesses such as colds, coughs, sore throat, earache, rashes and flu.
Dear Parents,
We understand that during these uncertain times it can be tough on parents and pupils not being able to enter the school building especially our new parents. We have taken some photos to show our new layout of classrooms that have been adapted to ensure social distancing measures are in place. Signage, floor markings and new sanitizing units have also been placed around the school building to ensure everyone’s safety.
Further resources have also been purchased so that now each individual child will get their own whiteboard/eraser and art equipment to eliminate the need for sharing items during the school day.
Dear Parents,
Please see below a list of helpful links to documents and videos which detail information for parents and pupils returning to school

Dear Parents,
Please see below a helpful document for parent/guardians that may assist in explaining some of the changes ahead for the children on returning to school on Thursday or starting school for the first time.
We got to say a little socially distant goodbye to our lovely 6th class girls, Ella and Rachel on Monday. We presented them with a fun hoodie and memento candle each and they have been sent an e-card signed by their classmates. We would all like to wish both Ella and Rachel all the very best as they embark on a new phase of their education. We know they will do themselves, their families and Scoil San Eoin very proud. Have fun and come back and see us when your all settled girls!

Following on from our last post regarding the fantastic success of Active Home Week we have added lots of videos below of the children (& their parents) completing different challenges & exercises for Active Home Week. A huge well done to everyone and thank you to all the parents for sending in the videos. We really enjoyed watching them.
Active Home week was a resounding success in Scoil San Eoin. We are so proud of all of the pupils who took on the challenge with great energy and a positive attitude. This can be difficult to do in these times so a huge thank you to all the families who videoed, took pictures s and most importantly encouraged and joined in the fun! It was so nice for the staff to see the smiling faces of the pupils, as we miss them greatly. We were even happy to see that some exercise doubled up as a helpful job such as grass cutting and litter picking!!!Have a look at the beautiful photos below & all the wonderful videos on the next post, which not only show the pupils in action but also the beautiful surroundings of Redcross.
Ms. FItzgerald has been trying to practise her headstands! What have you been getting up to? Please send back your completed challenge charts we are looking forward to seeing all the great activities you have been doing all week!

Dear Parents,
Please see below links and information for Active Home Week challenge running from April 27th to May 03rd 2020.
The idea of the #ActiveHomeWeek challenge is to:
Encourage children to find NEW ways of being physically active that they ENJOY
Raise awareness about the fact that children need at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day
To complete the challenge children have to find four different ways of being active every day making sure that this add up to 60 MINUTES, or more. Children are encouraged to try something NEW, have FUN with a family activity and to ENJOY the week!
