COVID-19 Recent Update
Dear Parents/Guardians,
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued cooperation and support of our Covid Response Plan. Since the 27th September, schools are no longer informed of a positive case in the school. As a result of these changes in Covid-19 contact tracing, we are not allowed to inform parents/guardians of cases. We appreciate being informed by parents and guardians when their child (ren) have received a positive PCR result or when their child (ren) need to isolate and restrict movements.
It is of critical importance that we all continue to monitor children for symptoms of Covid-19. If your child has symptoms associated with Covid-19 then they need to restrict their movements until they receive a 'negative/not detected' PCR Test Result.
Please follow the HSE advice if your child is identified as a close contact.
As you may have seen via media reports from last week, a new system of antigen testing of asymptomatic close contacts in primary schools will commence on or before Monday 29th November. Please see below details of the correspondence received from both the Department of Education & Department of Health in relation to this matter.
How the programme will work:
Kind regards
Marie Cremin

Please see below details of the correspondence received from both the Department of Education & Department of Health in relation to this matter.
How the programme will work:
- When a parent receives a 'detected'/positive PCR COVID-19 test result they should notify the school principal immediately.
- The school principal will inform the parents of the children in the case's pod that they are close contacts of a confirmed COVID-19 case. The name of the case or any other details will not be shared.
- The school principal will identify the children in the case's pod and inform their parents, offering the opportunity to order antigen tests from the distribution company.
- The antigen tests will be posted to parents of the children in the pod.
- Parents carry out the antigen tests on the day that they receive it and every second day until three tests have been done.
- The children in the pod can continue to attend school as long as they remain asymptomatic and their antigen test results remain not detected.
- If the antigen test is positive, the child isolates at home and the parent/guardian logs onto the HSE to request a PCR Test.
- If at any stage a child becomes symptomatic they should isolate at home and organise a COVID-19 PCR test if indicated.
- A 'not detected' antigen test holds no value in this situation of a symptomatic child.
- In a case where two or more cases arise in a class, within a seven day period, outside of a single pod, antigen testing will be offered to the full class.
- HSE advice if your child has Covid-19 symptoms
