Current Guidelines For Schools Jan 22
It can be very difficult to keep up with the ever evolving COVID-19 guidelines for
schools. We will endeavour to keep you updated as best we can of any new
recommendations from the HSE.
Please note the current guidelines we have at present below.
A written explanation of any school absence must be supplied to the school by
either a note in child’s school journal (1st - 6th class) or an email to class teacher or
the school office (stdamiansoffice@gmail.com) in advance of their return to school.
Going to school is important for your child's wellbeing. It's important that they enjoy a
normal and active childhood.
All children should go to school unless they:
have symptoms of COVID-19
are under the age of 13 and a household close contact of someone who has
COVID-19
are age 13 or older and any kind of close contact of someone who has COVID-
19
