We have just had official word from the Department of Education and Skills that all schools will close from today until the 30th March. If class teachers have sent work home, please encourage your daughter to do a little every day. Please keep an eye on the website stkevinsgns.com for further word from teachers. The Department have asked us to let you know the following ‘ All pupils and students, from pre-school to third level are urged to practice social distancing, and to minimise physical contact with each other, to help avoid the spread of Covid-19. This should include minimising social contact, avoiding meeting up and keeping physical space between them. Parents and guardians are urged to support their children to maintain this approach’
