Welcoming In The New School Year
FPNS Parent Link, August 2023
The Countdown is On!
A very special welcome to our new Junior Infants and their families, many of whom are the first in their families to join us in the school here.
Welcome also to our new pupils who are joining different class bands throughout the school this year. It is always lovely to add to our community and we wish all of our pupils and their families much happiness as they settle into the 2023/2024 academic year.
As always, we look forward to a great year together and we are excited to see all of the children on their first day back with us on August 30th.
Warm regards,
Rachel, and all of the team in FPNS.

School Books and Supplies
On the first day of school, your child will need a school bag and a water bottle that they can refill during the day. Pencil cases should contain pencils, erasers, a parer, a ruler, colouring pencils, and at least one glue stick.
Please label everything, especially jumpers.
Please note: runners without laces are most practical for any of our pupils who cannot tie their own laces.
