To all of our school community, I would like to thank all of the students that have fully engaged and embraced the challenge of online learning. I have received reports from staff that the volume and quality of work has been terrific. With the Easter holidays fast approaching it is important that you should take a break from your studies. Third Year and Leaving Certificate Applied students are expected to revise during these two weeks. Online contact with staff will be minimal and only through prior arrangement with the teacher. We have had no further clarification from the Department of Education re:state exams. As soon as we have any further news we will post it here. If we have to continue with this method of teaching and learning after the Easter break we will distribute more guidelines. I would like to thank Mr Fleming and the other teachers that have created and collected PPE from the school and donated them to local Health Centres.

Department of Education COVID 19 update 10 March

For any of our parents or students that may have concerns regarding COVID 19 please follow this link to the HSE information and advice. HSE Coronavirus

Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s), The Teachers Union of Ireland (TUI) has notified KWETB that, following a ballot, all TUI members have been directed to take strike action on Tuesday 4th February 2020. On that day, pickets will be placed on workplaces where TUI members are employed. This school has a number of teachers who are members of the TUI. Following a detailed assessment of the implications of the strike action on the operation of the school, management in consultation with the Education and Training Board has reluctantly decided that it cannot guarantee the health and safety of students/learners on the premises on that day. Therefore, we are informing you not to send your child to school on Tuesday 4th February. Glenart College will be open to receive students on Wednesday 5th February. Yours faithfully, Ms Kearns, Principal
