Keeping Childhood Smartphone Free
The parents association are currently working to devise a smartphone agreement whereby parents choose to sign a form stating that they would not allow their children to own a smartphone while in primary school. A survey has been sent out to all parents to gauge interest in this measure,if you haven’t done so, please complete the survey by clicking on this link.
The parents association are following guidelines as detailed in the Department of Education document “Keeping Childhood Smartphone Free”, click on the link to read this document. Keeping Childhood Smartphone Free

New Parents Association
The parents’ association has been recently reactivated and we are writing to introduce ourselves and extend a warm invitation to get involved. So far we have Elaine Newell (Chairperson), Anna Parkinson (Secretary), Aisling Gormally (Treasurer), Audrey Trigg, Angela O’Toole, Loretta Croke, Kim Ryan, Michelle O’Connor, Olivia Traynor, Sinéad Valla, Gillian Hunter and Petrina Mulligan.
Ideally we would have a parent from each class involved so that the views and opinions
of all are represented.
The good news is that all committee positions have been filled so you can come to the next parents’ association meeting without fear of getting a job! Our next meeting will be
on Wednesday, 6th March at 8pm at school (first prefab on the left). This meeting is open to everyone to attend.
We are currently compiling a list of ideas for how the Parents’ Association could best work to promote the interests of students (and also help parents) in Scoil Mhuire, e.g.
fundraising events, talks, social events, volunteering at school occasions, fundraising for extracurricular activities. We would love to hear your thoughts and opinions, please
email any ideas to pa.secretary@moycns.ie
Sincerely,
Scoil Mhuire Parents Association
