​Good morning students, parents/guardians

I hope that you are all well.

Today I have lots of news but I will try to be quick.
 
Reopening of Schools

On Friday 5 June, the government agreed to accelerate the Roadmap for Reopening Society and Business, which has been made possible thanks to the progress made by the Irish people in suppressing the virus.
The reconfigured Roadmap will consist of 4 Phases, instead of 5, with Phase 3 beginning on 29 June and Phase 4 on 20 July. 
On Friday June 12 the Government published 2 documents of interest to our schools and students. 
​
Planning for reopening schools in line with the Roadmap for reopening society and business(www.gov.ie)

The overall objective is to open schools in accordance with the normal start of the new school year to the fullest extent while minimising the risks from a public health perspective. Arrangements will allow for new routines to be established and bedded in within schools. 

Public health guidance – Detailed work is being done in relation to development of public health guidance for school setting. 

Guidance and templates to enable schools comply with the requirements of the national Return to Work Safely Protocol are being developed 

Awareness raising and training – Guidance and on-line training modules, webinars etc. are being developed for use by schools, parents and students etc. 

Enhanced cleaning regime – Additional resources will be provided to schools to enable enhanced cleaning regimes to be put in place for operation of schools. 

Good hand hygiene –schools  will purchase hand- sanitisers for use in the school and classroom. 
It is not envisaged that significant PPE will be required in school settings 

Mental health and Wellbeing – There will be a strong focus on supporting mental health and wellbeing of students and staff during the initial phase of re-opening schools.

Teaching and learning and curriculum: The Department is working with a number of bodies tailor teaching and learning appropriately to the needs of students as they reengage with school. 

Blended learning/alternative provision: Planning for a blended learning approach (on-line/in school) will be a feature of the approach to planning to reopen schools as there may be circumstances where schools will have to respond quickly to changed circumstances at local, regional or national level. 

Consultation and Communication – The Department of Education and Skills  will continue to consult and communicate with stakeholders in relation to  the development of guidance and supports for the re-opening of schools. 
 
Summer Provision 2020(www.gov.ie)

The Department of Education has published the Summer Provision 2020 document which may be viewed at www.gov.ie.

The programmes outlined in this document will focus on children with complex needs, within defined categories. There are three programmes. 

1. School-based programme of education for children with complex 
reneeds
2. Home-based programme for children with complex 
reneeds
3. HSE-led summer programme for children with complex needs, 
based in community settings, such as school buildings. 

Scoil Naomh Eltin does not run a School-based July Provision Programme but you may register your child if he/she qualifies for a Home-based Summer Programme on gov.ie/summer provision
