WINTER CELEBRATIONS
Our winter celebrations will take place during the week of 14th December - read all the details on our website. If you would like to help us to learn some songs, please let us know - your involvement in our school is important to us and so valuable and special for the children.


BOOK FAIR
Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and shopping at the Book Fair. The Book Fair will still be here on Monday and Tuesday so there is still lots of time to buy lovely books, either for your own child or as gifts! Please read all the details here, where you can also sign up to help out!


TOY DONATION WEEK
Also, next week is Toy Donation Week at our school. This is a great chance for you to do a clear-out at home and get rid of old toys that are no longer used. We would be so glad to take them and make great use of them. Please see this list for all the items we would love to receive next week!


Thank you again for your engagement and involvement in our school. Together we are creating a wonderful community for our children to grow up in!
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend,

We feel that this is a great opportunity to share, experience and showcase the many different languages that are spoken in our school community. 
If you would like to volunteer please email Nicola at reception citywestetns.reception@gmail.com   with the following details:
  1. Name 
  2. Contact details (phone/email)

Looking forward to a great concert!

26th November - email to all families: Pre-enrol your younger children for our school.

25/11/2015

*To read this email in another language, please go to our website.


Dear parents and guardians,
We are now starting the enrolment process for new school places for September 2016. Any child already in the school has their school place guaranteed for next September and so there is no need for you to do anything.
I am writing to alert you to a crucial point in our admissions policy, which is that we do not give priority to siblings of children already in the school.
If you have a pre-school child, due to start school in September 2016 or any later year, please make sure that you have pre-enroled them for our school. Our policy is strictly first-come-first-served and there is nothing we can do if you do not pre-enrol a younger sibling on time. We already have names on our list for 2020 so it is never too early to add a name!
If you are not sure whether you have already pre-enroled a younger sibling, just contact Nicola and she will check for you.
Many thanks,
Caitriona Hand,
Principal.

24th November - email to families in 3rd class: Party Invitation

25/11/2015

Dear parents and guardians,
We would not usually get involved in the distribution of party invitations but this case is slightly different and the family have no other way of contacting you so I hope you will forgive the intrusion.
(name removed) was in 2nd class last year and has since moved to (place removed). However, he misses his friends in Citywest ETNS and would like to invite his friends to his birthday party. (party details removed) He hopes to see you there.
Kind regards,
Caitriona Hand.

Email sent to all families re: school disco

Dear Parents/Guardians,

On Friday 20th November, to celebrate the opening of our new wing of our school, a school disco will take place during the school day in our new hall within school hours.


The children have the option to arrive at school in costume/fancy dress and for lots of laughs our theme will be Superheroes! 
So get those little capes out! 

Our school discos are always lots of fun. This time we are so excited to have it on the same day as our big opening event. We have divided the disco into two groups, Juniors and Seniors at different times to allow the parents to view the new wing and enjoy some refreshments in our new hall. Please find all of the days details of events on our school website www.citywestetns.ie.

We look forward to seeing all of your Superheros and you, the parents, on the day.

Any parents who would like to help out on the day please email the Parents' Association : 
citywestetns.parents@gmail.com

Kind regards,
 
Citywest ETNS Parents' Association. ​
