Junior Infants 15th-19th February

Hello boys and girls in Junior Infants,

Well done for reaching the week of our mid-term break.  Below are a few suggestions of activities for you to do this week. We’re so happy to see you share what you have been getting up to on Seesaw. Many of you are trying a little bit from our school website, some challenges on Seesaw, lots of fun tasks from the school activity packs as well as your own creative projects and adventurous pursuits. We’re very impressed with all your fantastic work. You and your parents really deserve to enjoy the few days off school work for the mid-term break.

School Zone initiative from Dublin City Council

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Dublin City Council have a School Zone initiative which aims to reduce congestion and increase safety at the front of schools.

The initiative would highlight the presence of the school, encourage traffic to slow down in a School Zone area, encourage drivers not to park on footpaths and encourage cars to make drop-offs outside the School Zone area and not to stop there.

If St. Gabriel’s N.S. applied for and was granted this initiative, it would entail line-markings stating ‘School Zone’, colourful red and yellow circles on the road on Cowper Street and pencil-shaped bollards on the footpath outside the school.

Please find further information HERE.

We would appreciate any opinions you may have on this intitative. Please send any comments to principal@stgabrielsns.ie or to 087 123 1750.
