We are all missing being in school. It is difficult for the children to adjust to a different routine and they miss their friends, the activities of school, playtime and so on. It is good to re-assure them that we will get back to school when the government decides it is safe for everyone. For now, they are safest staying at home.
Our care team will continue to make contact with you and the children; we will do whatever we can to assist you. If you would like a call from us, don't hesitate to let us know by emailing us at office@scps.ie and one of us will be in touch with you.
