Text Box: Fáilte ar ais to everybody particularly our new Junior Infants. ‘The Keegans and The Foleys’ as they are  affectionately called have settled in marvellously as have all our pupils and staff as we look forward to the coming school year.  We would also like to welcome our new staff members; Ms Bruton, Ms Geraghty,Ms O Sullivan, Mr Fitzpatrick and Ms Nic Cormaic and also take this  opportunity to wish Mr  Behan well in his retirement after 33 years at St Olaf’s.
School Hours
We would like to remind everybody that our school Text Box: is open to receive pupils from 8.50 a.m. each morning and we  earnestly urge parents to make sure that children are not left at the school before this time. 

This request is purely in the children’s own interest as the school cannot be responsible for their     supervision until after the official school opening time. 
This is particularly        important on wet mornings Text Box: as the school doors will not be opened until 8.50 a.m. irrespective of weather conditions. Classes will end at 1.30pm for Infants and 2.30pm for all other classes
.
This is our 14th year     publishing newsletters and this year we are reverting to the printed format after a brief experiment with publishing it solely to the website. Parents seem to prefer the hard copy which is easily displayed on the  fridge door!
