Aladdin Connect

Posted on November 29, 2021 by mrcronin

As a school we are going to upgrade to Aladdin Connect over the next few weeks. A letter has been sent home today explaining what is involved. The letter is below for anyone who would like to follow the links:

Dear Parent/Guardian,

Our school is delighted to announce that we will shortly roll out the Aladdin Schools Connect to parents/guardians of children in our classes.

The school uses the Aladdin Schools software service for administrative purposes and Connect will give you secure access to messages from the school and to details of your child’s attendance, test results, reports cards etc via secure login from your internet browser or Aladdin Connect App.

Aladdin Connect is a fantastic way to enhance a school’s communication with parents. It enables parents to stay connected and informed about their child’s education.

You can rest reassured that Aladdin Schools uses state-of-the-art security to safeguard information entered by the school and data is stored and processed in strict compliance with Irish and European data protection laws.

In the next few days, you will receive a text/email message containing your registration link. In preparation for this please let the school know if your email address or phone number has changed recently.

For further assistance please go to https://aladdin.ie/files/pdf/ParentSignUp.pdf to see the Parent Connect signup process. There will be one link per parent. Please do not forward this text/email or share this link as this is a unique registration link for each parent for your child/children in this school.

Please note: If there are any personal concerns, or legal provisions in place regarding giving access to Connect to any parent/guardian of your child please contact myself or Ms Dodrill HSCL in confidence to discuss or restrict access as required.

We hope that you enjoy using Aladdin Connect. For more information please visit https://www.aladdin.ie/connect_app_faqs.html

These links and a copy of this letter can be found on our school website.

Your class teacher, the secretary or myself will welcome any feedback or questions you may have.

Yours sincerely,

Mid-Term Break

Posted on February 12, 2021 by mrcronin

Before we switch off from Online Learning for the next week I would like to say some thank yous. Firstly I would like to thank our wonderful pupils for logging on to Seesaw for the last few weeks and engaging in online learning so well. It has not been easy for you but we are all so impressed with how you have stuck with it and kept at it during these difficult times.

Secondly, I would like to thank our wonderful parents who have taken on the huge task of helping your child navigate online learning. While it is not an ideal solution it is the safest solution we have at the moment so thank you for helping your child get online and for giving them a gentle nudge in the right direction.

Finally I would like to thank the teachers and SNAs in our school who have adapted so well to online learning. It has been a steep learning curve for everyone involved and I think as a school community we have all done so well over the last few weeks.

Over the next week I would encourage children to try and spend less time on screens if possible and explore other skills or hobbies that they might have. Most of all I want you all to stay safe so we will all be back in school when it is safe to do so.

Have a lovely week off,

Best wishes,

Mr Cronin

What happens if your child is unwell in school.

Welcome to our blue room!

When your child is unwell in school they are taken to the blue room while they wait for an adult to come and collect them. These are guidelines that were given to every school in the country by the Department of Education and Skills.

These are pictures to show your child so they know what will happen if they get sick:
