Please read 5th Feb Letter to Parents_Guardians
Also please see here Student info sheet regarding online learning and teaching that was shared with students in January.
They say a week is a long time in politics, well a day is a long time in education!
Thankfully sense has prevailed and the decision to ask staff, Leaving Cert students and Special Classes to enter school buildings has been paused and public health advice surrounding restricting mobility of large numbers of people has taken priority.
Our plan for moving forward will now be the following:
| Monday 11th January |
9:30 – 11:00 Staff Meeting (Online)
12:00 – 14:00 Students can access the school building in order to retrieve any books/materials they would require for online learning and teaching. If you do require to collect materials you are asked to enter through the main door near the office, wear a mask, sanitise your hands and bring a bag to put your books into. Please do not congregate or spend time chatting to others and remember to keep your social distance from others at all times. You then leave through the back door.If you tested positive for Covid 19 and are still within the required isolation period you MUST NOT come into the school to collect your books. This would be most irresponsible and put others at risk. This is more essential than having your books for now. Can I please ask that if any student has tested positive for covid or if anyone is a close contact of a confirmed case and should be restricting their movements not to attend the school under any circumstances and to adhere to the guidelines on isolation.We will arrange for you to collect your books at another time when your period of isolation or restricted movement is over.
Year groups are asked to stick to the assigned times below. Families can choose one of the slots and all members of that family can collect their books during that time. 12:00 – 12:20 First Years
12:20 – 12:40 Second Years
12:40 – 13:00 Third Years
13:00 – 13:20 Fourth Years
13:20 – 13:40 Fifth Years
13:40 – 14:00 Sixth Years
|
| Tuesday 12th January – Friday 29th January | Online learning and teaching for all year groups begins. Classes will follow the normal timetable. |
In relation to the pre-exams we are still looking at what options are available to us and will communicate those to you when we have our plans finalised. For the moment, obviously these will not be proceeding on the dates as outlined before Christmas.

Staff in MICC held a meeting on 12th August regarding the reopening of our school. We will be in contact in the coming days with finalised details. Some areas that have been decided are as follows:
- School uniform: School uniform will be worn. On the day that students have PE they will be allowed to wear their PE clothes for the full day as our changing rooms will not be in operation. On all other days students must wear their full school uniform.
- Payments: Correspondence will follow in the coming days with regards to book rental scheme, school development resource fund, etc.
- Facial coverings: In accordance with national guidelines face coverings MUST be worn where social distancing of 2 metres is not possible. This will be the case on many occasions during the school day therefore facial coverings will be a requirement in MICC. We will provide a one off pack for every student of two face masks, a visor, hand sanitiser and wipes upon the students’ return.
- Dates of return: Please note earlier start for school of 8:57
