Agreed Report from the Board of Management meeting which took place on Tuesday 27th February 2024.
- The Board of Management is delighted that our school community has moved in relatively smoothly and wish everyone many productive and enjoyable years ahead in the new school building.
- We thank everyone for their patience to date as we establish new routines and logistics within our new school setting. This does take time to set up and adjustments will be made as the school community settles in.
- The Board of Management is very concerned with car safety at morning drop-off and collection at home time. There is a serious issue of children jumping out of cars onto the road unsupervised. Children should get out of the car onto the footpath. Our campus is for drop-off and collection purposes during the day.
- The staff car park is strictly for staff during the school day.
- RaLET will celebrate its 2lst birthday on Friday 21st June. This promises to be a memorable day for all.
