Internet User Policy.:
Scoil Eoin is presently being connected to Broadband – via satellite dish. As part of the agreement with N.C.T.E.(who are providing this broadband service) each school must have an up to date Internet Usage Policy. Each family will be circulated with a copy of this policy in the near future. You are asked to read it carefully and return the acceptance / non acceptance part to the school.

Parking:
The school has the use of the Church car park for letting off / collecting of school children.. At the Parents Association A.G.M. this year a number of parents raised concerns about safety in the church yard. The safety of our children depends largely on you , the parents using this facility.
It is extremely important that you:
• Park in the spaces provided.
• Keep parking as close to the lower end of car park as you can. This will assist those entering the car park after you.
• Under no circumstances are you to leave your children off before you park in a space.
• Do not stop or obstruct the clear ways. This disrupts the flow of traffic.
• Younger children need to be escorted out the upper gate. Both drivers and children need to be extra vigilant at this point.
