2023/24 Junior Infants
Welcome to St. Michael's Primary School
Starting school will be the first big change in the life of your child. Up to this they have felt safe and secure with you in the home and family but now is facing the wider world of classroom and school. This may seem a big step for someone so small but most children manage it without any great fuss or stress - and in fact take to it like ducks to water.
We know from experience that parents are very anxious to help in any way possible. We have, therefore, included some ideas below for the home, which should stimulate the child’s interest and nurture their desire to know more.
With these aims in mind we have put together some information as a general guide for parents. It deals briefly with the period before your child comes to school and his/her introductory stage in Junior Infants. We trust you will find it helpful and that your child will be happy and fulfilled with us.
Regards

We are offering this information as a little practical help in dealing with the education of your children at the very early stages. We will be very happy if you dip into it from time to time and find something in it of value to you and your child.
There are lots of ideas and suggestions here as to how you can help your child. We
are not advocating that you do ALL of these with them in a systematic way.
But if you find from time to time that they enjoy a fun approach to certain
aspects of learning then we would say – give it a go!

We hope your child will
be very happy in our wonderful school.
