In order to give you an opportunity to become familiar with the P1 curriculum, an Open Afternoon for parents will be held in the school on Wednesday 13th May 2015 at 1.40pm.

Further Open Afternoons will be held on Tuesday 9^th June and Wednesday 10^th June 2015 from 1.40-2.40pm to allow your child to spend some time in the Primary 1 classrooms and meet their new teacher and new classmates. Your child’s Primary 1 class and the Open Afternoon that they will attend will be confirmed on the Parent Open Afternoon meeting in May.
There will be a further opportunity to ‘meet the teacher’ early in the first term of 2015. Details of this afternoon will be given out when we see you in June.
I look forward to seeing you.

Holmwood house will be holding their Easter events from Friday 3rd April until Monday 6th April from 11am – 3pm.  If you go along to this event, please let them know that you are from Our Lady of the Missions.

As I made you aware at your child’s Induction Meeting last May, the five Primary 1 classes this year will be merged into four Primary 2 classes for next year.
The process of merging these classes will be done through Senior Management discussions with class teacher, ongoing teacher observations and assessments, gender ratio, whole year screening and friendship groupings.
I would appreciate it if you could complete the proforma below with the names of three children that you would like your child to be with in the same class next year. I will endeavour to ensure that your child is in class with two of these children.
All forms should be returned to school by Friday 27^th March 2015.
Please do not hesitate to contact me for further information.
Your continued support is greatly appreciated.

Yours Sincerely,
Josephine McGrotty DHT

The Roads Department has informed the school that road works involving re-surfacing will take place on Wednesday of this week (10^th December 2014). This work will take place outside the Junior Department at the turning circle. If possible could I suggest that pupils are dropped off in the main car park and then walk up the stairs into the Junior Department playground in order to avoid congestion.
