School Closed from March 13th until March 30th

12th March 2020

Dear Parents/Guardian,

As you may have heard the Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has today announced that all schools, colleges and creches are to close today, in an effort to reduce social contacts and slow down the spread of Covid19 (Coronavirus).

Presentation Community College, Terenure, will close this evening until Monday 30th March. If this situation changes we will notify through text or online.

We have ensured that all students have the knowledge as to how to log in to Google Classroom and so be in contact with teachers on-line. Homework will be uploaded by teachers on-line so that students can continue with their learning.

The attached sheet has the information regarding Google Classroom and all information can be found on our website.

We expect that students will work individually at home on the work that is set by their teachers. You have a role to play in this also.

Please check our web-site www.presentationcollege.ie to be kept informed of any further information, follow us also on Twitter @Pres_Terenure and Instagram @presentationccterenure

We have also emphasised to students their responsibility to maintain high standards of hygiene in order to help the country to control the current spread of CV19.

Thank you.

Regards,
