If a child has any physical or health problems the Principal should be informed when the child is being enrolled. Should a problem develop the Principal should be told immediately.
In this way appropriate provisions can be put in place.
Any information will be treated with respect and confidence.
DO NOT SEND A SICK CHILD TO SCHOOL
If your child is too sick to go out in the yard, he/she is too sick to come to school. Exceptions are made in the case of ongoing chronic or limb injuries. Otherwise all children are expected to go to the yard. Alternative supervision arrangements are impossible and playtime is a vital part of social interaction.
Infectious Disease
Please notify the school if your child is diagnosed with an infectious disease.


Head Lice
Head lice are regular visitors in all schools! So check your childs head regularly (i.e. at least once a week) for head lice. Please report it to the school so that we can alert others. Lotions and shampoos are readily available from your local pharmacy.
Immunisation and Screening
The Health Service Executive provides some medical screening for school going children. It also provides booster immunisations for some childhood diseases. No immunisation/screening is carried out without parental consent.
Medication
It is the policy of the school not to administer any non-prescription medication to children without written permission from parent/guardian. Please discuss any medical needs your child has with the class teacher or Principal.
