Clarification re staggered start for infant classes

It has come to our attention that there is some misinformation with regard to the staggered start for infant classes and the length of time that this arrangement will last for.
It is intended that the later start for infant classes, that has been carefully considered as a necessary arrangement until children get used to new routines, is a temporary measure.  It is hoped that the school will revert to a common entry time for all classes as soon as infant children are comfortable enough to move quickly into classrooms with little need for parental assistance or company. The speed at which this occurs will depend largely on the co-operation of our parents in putting these routines and practices in place. This will also depend on H.S.E. and D.E.S. advice with regard to Covid-19.
