Norma Foley, Minister for Education has asked that each parent receives the following, important information from the Department and the HSE with regard to returning to school.
Links to each of these are in the attached document, so that it is as easy as possible for you to send on the relevant items to your school community:
• Video for parents with key information on supporting children to return to school available here and here
• Fliers for parents – these are attached in this email but are also available for download here.
The HSE has prepared material on recognising symptoms, which complements the material from the Department on returning to school. This is available here
• Age-appropriate videos for children and young people at different stages. Videos for primary (both junior and senior level) and post-primary students are available here
• Resources in a wide range of languages. Many schools will enjoy a huge diversity among their student and parent community. To support these parents, we have translated guidance for parents at gov.ie/backtoschool.
