We would like to thank all our parents and pupils for your co-operation and support. By working together to keep each other safe you have played a vital role in ensuring that our school can reopen safely. The contribution of many people, working together can ensure that we stay open and that our remaining classes will be able to return on March 15th.

As part of the new protocol for returning to school, parents are required to complete the Return to School Declaration Form below or email in respect of children returning to school after any absence from school.
You can fill the form in the link below or email info@kilglassns.ie stating the name and class of your child with the following declaration in the body of the email:
Declaration: I have no reason to believe that my child has infectious disease and I have followed all medical and public health guidance with respect to exclusion of my child from educational facilities.
