Friday Note

For the purpose of all our new pupils and parents, the Friday Note is the main source of contact to our parents. It is vital that parents read their Friday Note as it gives information on upcoming meetings, events, school closings/holidays and after school activities. The Friday Note is also published every week on our school website www.stcolmanslambeg.com. IMPORTANT: Parents make sure you label all your child's uniform/bag etc. You must also inform the school office in writing of any new changes to pupil contact numbers, i.e. new mobile numbers or change of address. It is vital that we have correct details in case of an emergency.
