Dear Parents/Guardians,

We hope you had a lovely summer. We are very excited to welcome everyone back to Lisnagry N.S. A huge thank you to all our staff and Board of Management members for their support and effort in getting everything ready for our school reopening. Our focus for the week ahead is to help the children to settle back into their daily school routines in a gentle and safe way.

Our plans for reopening are very much as we were operating during the last term. There will be a few changes to reflect the Government updates.
