On daffodil day the flowers looked beautiful in the spring
sunshine!
These are the beautiful daffodils planted by the children from
Carnaross National School in conjunction with Pride of Place.
As part of the Youth Daffodil Challenge, it was planned to sell
them this weekend in aid of the Irish Cancer Society.
The daffodil bulbs will double and come back better than ever
next year and hopefully so will our community after COVID 19
and this time next year we will have an abundance of daffodils
to sell for this deserving cause.

Dear Parents/Guardians,

February 2021
I hope you and your families are keeping safe and healthy.
As
you
know
classes
reverted
to
remote
learning
on
Monday
11th
of
January.
This
is
so
disappointing
for
us
all
and
not
what
we
were
hoping
for
at
the
start
of
a
new
year.
However,
we
are
hopeful
that
with
the
roll
out
of
the
vaccine
we
will
in
time
return
to
more
normal
day
to
day
living.
Today,
being
St
Brigid’s
Day
and
the
start
of
Spring,
fills
us
with
hope
and
we
continue
to
look
forward
to
better
things
including
the
long
awaited
return
to
normality
which
will
bring
with
it
the
re-opening
of
our
school.
At
the
moment
I
don’t
have
any
further
information
on
when
we
are
returning.
However
as
soon
as
I
have,
I
will
pass
it
onto
you.
In
the
meantime
please
remind
your child how much they are missed by all in our school.
We
are
aware
of
the
difficulties
faced
by
our
families
during
this
pandemic
and
we
know
that
on-
line
education
is
a
challenge.
We
wanted
to
remind
you
that
we
have
no
expectation
that
during
this
time
you
become
your
child’s
substitute
teacher.
We
also
do
not
expect
you
to
be
doing
hours
of
tutoring
with
your
child
every
day.
We
encourage
you
to
be
realistic
about
your
child’s
needs and your own needs.
With
the
announcement
that
schools
will
not
be
reopening
this
week,
we
in
Carnaross
N.S.
will
continue
to
do
our
very
best
for
our
pupils.
We
recommend
that
pupils
adhere
to
their
daily
schedule
and
as
advised
by
their
teacher
upload
what
each
teacher
has
prioritised.
The
chosen
Seesaw
app
and
regular
Zoom
calls
afford
pupils
the
opportunity
to
engage
in
learning
and
to
liaise
with
their
teachers
and
SNAs.
This
contact
is
encouraged
and
video
clips
and
voice
recordings
are
welcomed.
Staff
will
do
their
utmost
to
maintain
pupils’
interest
and
to
maximise
their
learning
with
worthwhile
lessons.
We
are
available
to
assist
your
child
and
to
support
you
at
this
time.
Please
feel
free
to
contact
teachers
by
email
and
we
will
endeavour
to
help
as
much
as
possible.

the
