Cúrsaí Foirne
D’fhág an múinteoir Caitríona Ní Choiligh muid I rith an tSamhraidh, tar éis blianta fada a chaitheamh I Scoil Lorcáin. Ba mhaith linn buíochas a ghabháil le Caitríona as a cuid ama agus oibre anseo agus gach sonas agus séan a ghuí uirthi amach anseo. D’fhág an CRs Méadhbh Farrelly muid, chomh maith, agus guímid gach ádh ar Mhéadhbh.
Caitríona Ní Choiligh left her employment in Scoil Lorcáin during the summer after many years spent teaching here. We’d like to thank Caitríona for all her work – there will be a big gap to fill on our Coiste Glas, for example – and wish her well. Our SNA Meadhbh left, also, and we wish her well too.
Rúnaí Nua
Tá an Rúnaí nua Caitríona Mhic Leannáin ag obair linn anois.

Nóta ó Rós
A Thuismitheoirí a chairde,
Ba mhaith liom mo bhuíochas ó chroí a chur in iúil do phobal Scoil Lorcáin go léir as na beannachtaí dea-mhéine, na bronntanis agus na hócáidí go léir a thug sibh dom ar fágáil na scoile dom.
D’ardaigh sé go léir mo chroí agus coinneoidh mé cuimhne ar na rudaí cineálta ar fad a dúradh liom agus fúm.
I wish to express my sincere thanks the whole school community for all the presents, the good wishes and kind words that I received on leaving in June. I will remember them with fondness.
Go raibh míle míle maith agaibh go léir.
Le meas,
Rós
Duais na Gaeilge
Beidh athrú ar Dhuais na Gaeilge i mbliana. Bhraitheamar go raibh athláinseáil ag teastáil, athbhrandáil. Mar sin, ní bhronnfar ar aon dalta ach go hócáidiúil, nuair a bhraitheann múinteoir go bhfuil sár-iarracht déanta. Muna ndéanann dalta sár-iarracht, ní bhronnfar an duais air nó uirthi.
We’ve redesigned Duais na Gaeilge because it had gone a bit stale – the ‘Duais’ bit, not the ‘Gaeilge’ bit. It will only be presented occasionally in any class, when a teacher or SNA feels that a child has made an excellent effort.

Má bhíonn tú ag caint le polaiteoir:
CPSMA and the other primary education management bodies have been campaigning over the last number of months, seeking the restoration of the capitation grant to pre-financial crisis levels, i.e. €200 per pupil. The timing of the campaign was to secure political attention to the issue and thereby make it a priority for Budget 2019 as most of the larger budgetary decisions are taken during this part of the political calendar. Primary school communities are influential. The State is meeting only 53% of the running costs of a school.

Graiméar an Draoi
Tá 5 chóip den leabhar seo á lorg againn, má tá sé ag luí timpeall sa bhaile. Is féidir a thabhairt do Cholmán nó do Chaitríona Mhic Leannáin, an Rúnaí.
We’re looking for 5 copies of Graiméar an Draoi, if it’s lying unloved around the house.
Laethanta Breithe
Iarraimid ar thuismitheoirí gan milseáin ná cístí a chur isteach chuig an rang ar laethanta breithe. Cé gur smaoineamh deas é cruthaíonn sé deacrachtaí éagsúla do na múinteoirí agus tagann sé trasna ar ár bPolasaí Lón Sláintiúil.
We ask parents not to send in sweets or cakes to the class for birthdays. While it is a nice idea it causes some difficulties for the teacher and doesn’t tally with our Healthy Eating Policy.
Dialann sínithe
Tá Dialann Scoile ag gach dalta i Rang 1-6. Iarraimid ar thuismitheoirí an obair bhaile a shíniú agus a sheiceáil gach oíche. Tá Polasaí Obair Bhaile ar ár suíomh idirlín.
Every child in Rang 1-6 has a homework diary – Dialann Obair Bhaile. It should be signed and the homework checked Monday – Thursday. Our Homework Policy is on our website should you need clarification on any issue.
Cuirí Laethanta Breithe
Gabhaimid buíochas libh mar go ndéanann a lán tuismitheoirí iarracht na cuirí a bheith i nGaeilge nó dátheangach. Tá cuirí samplacha ar an Suíomh nua idirlín mar threoir. Níor cheart cuirí as thabhairt amach ar scoil ach nuair atáid i nGaeilge nó dátheangach agus nuair atá gach buachaill agus/nó cailín sa ranga ag fáil cuireadh.
Thanks to all who make the effort to have Birthday Invitations in Irish or bilingual. It is a very positive step for promoting Irish. We have samples on our website to help with creating Irish cards. Invitations may only be handed out in school when they are in Irish/bilingual and when all the girls and/or boys in the class are being invited.
Cruinnithe le Múinteoirí
Tá fáilte roimh thuismitheoirí focal tapaidh a bheith acu le múinteoir ag 8.35 rn nuair a bhailíonn an múinteoir an rang ón gclós. Níl an t-am seo oiriúnach chun fadhb a phlé leis an múinteoir. Ba cheart coinne a dhéanamh leis an múinteoir más mian leat ceist éigin a phlé léi/leis.
Parents are welcome to have a quick word with the teacher when the teacher collects the class from the clós at 8.35 am. This time is not suitable to discuss an issue. An appointment should be made with the teacher if some problem needs to be discussed.
Maor Tráchta
Iarrann Jackie Maor Tráchta orainn labhairt lenár bpáistí faoin mbóthar a thrasnú go cúramach ag na soilse. Iarrann sí, chomh maith, ar thuismitheoirí gan páistí a tharraingt trasna an bhóthair sula gcomharthaíonn sise gur féidir sin a dhéanamh.
Our Traffic Warden Jackie asks all parents to talk to their children about crossing safely at the pedestrian lights. She also asks parents to wait for her signal before crossing, rather than bringing their children across before it is safe to do so.
Go raibh maith agaibh.
Éide scoile
Iarraimid ar thuismitheoirí a chinntiú go bhfuil an éide scoile á caitheamh gach lá. Is féidir an éide scoile nó an chulaith reatha a chaitheamh aon lá. Ba cheart go mbeadh an éide glan agus néata agus gruaig fhada cheangailte siar. Scríobhaigí ainm an pháiste ar gach geansaí agus cóta, le bhur dtoil.
Please ensure that your child is wearing the uniform or the school tracksuit in school. Both are equally acceptable. Clothes should be clean and tidy and long hair tied back. Please write your child’s name on every school jumper and coat and t-shirt.
Oifig na Scoile
Bíonn Oifig na Scoile ar oscailt ó 8.35 rn. – 12.15 in. agus ó 12.45 in. – 2.30 in.
The office is open from 8.35 to 12.15. and from 12.45 to 2.30.
Páiste as láthair
Cuimhnigh go gcaithfear nóta a thabhairt don mhúinteoir má tá páiste as láthair. Is ceart na nótaí ar chúl an Dialann Scoile a úsáid do pháistí Rang 1-6. In aon chás, níl aon ghá glaoch ar an scoil chun neamhláithreacht a chur in iúl dúinn muna dtéann sé thar 3 lá.
Please remember that , as per Departmental rules – a note is required to explain any absence by a child. The notes at the back of the new school diary should be used for children Rang 1-6. There is no need to ring the school to inform us of absences unless they extend past 3 days.
Pointí Teagmhála Nua
Má tá aon athrú i do phointí teagmhála – go speisalta uimhreacha gutháin nó ríomhphost, cuir in iúl do Chaitríona Rúnaí é, le do thoil ag scoillorcain@scoillorcain.ie Ní bheidh Foirm Eolais ag dul amach ach chuig páistí nua sa scoil
If there is any change in your points of contact, please let us know by email to scoillorcain1scoillorcain.ie.

Suíomh Gréasán
Suíomh gréasáin darb ainm www.irishforparents.ie – tá sé dírithe ar thuismitheoirí a bhfuil a bpáistí ag freastal ar scoileanna lán-Ghaeilge agus ar mhúinteoirí a bhíonn ag múineadh ranganna Gaeilge do thuismitheoirí.
A website for parents learning Irish is available at www.irishforparents.ie
Ailéirgithe is rl
Iarraimid ar thuismitheoirí a dhéanamh cinnte go bhfuilimid ar an eolas faoi aon ailéirge nó plúchadh is rl atá ar a bpáiste. Iarraimid ar thuismitheoirí cnónna a sheachaint mar ábhar lóin, mar go bhfuil roinnt páistí le hailéirge dáiríre do chnónna acu.
Please ensure we are aware of any allergies, asthma etc that your child has, especially if they have cropped up recently. As we have a few children in school with very serious nut allergies, we ask all parents to avoid giving their children nuts for lunch.

Úsáid uaireanta Pháirc an Chrócaigh
Déanann na múinteoirí sa scoil 36 uair a chloig oibre neamhtheagmhála ar chuid de Chomhaontas Pháirc an Chrócaigh. I measc na mbuntáisti a bhainimid as an am seo tá cruinniú míosúil foirne (10 uair), cruinnithe ullmhúcháin ag tús na scoilbhliana (6 uair), cruinnithe inseirbhíse (10), cruinnithe tuismitheoirí/múinteoirí (2) agus cruinnithe polasaithe.Dár ndóigh, caitheann na múinteoirí a lán ama lasmuigh den chomhaontas thuasluaite ar imeachtaí den chineál seo agus ar ghníomhíochtaí deonacha eile. Bíonn na cruinnithe againn gach dara Luan tar éis am scoile, go ginearálta.
The teachers in Scoil Lorcáin fulfil 36 hours non-contact hours as part of the Croke Park Agreement. The uses we put these hours to include 10 hours spent on monthly staff meetings, 6 spent on a preparation at the start of the school year, 8 hours spent on policy formation, 2 hours on parent/teacher meetings and 810on inservice. Of course, teachers spend many more hours outside of the agreement on activities such as these and on other voluntary work. We usually hold these meetings every second Monday after school time.
