Remote Learning Update
Dear Parents and Guardians,
As you are now aware we will reopen for classes Junior Infants to 2nd Class on Monday March 1st. All of Mr. Flanagan's class should return to school. See back to school details here.
Our plan to continue with remote learning is as follows :
3rd to 6th class : Google Classroom. Most pupils have already logged on. If you have difficulty with passwords, email the school at principal@ionaroadschool.ie and we will do our best to sort the problem as quickly as possible for you.
Students can document their learning and communicate with their teacher through Google Classroom. Your child will be able to post their activities onto the platform being used by their class level.
We strongly encourage our pupils to engage with us in online learning. If you have any concerns please do not hesitate to contact the office.
We are aware that many of our parents are front line workers and our thoughts and best wishes are with them at this challenging time.
Kind regards,
Eileen Whelan
