Good afternoon Parents and Guardians and welcome back to Term 3.
I hope you are well and managed to enjoy a pleasant break with your family.

In addition, children can continue to work independently using their schoolbooks and workbooks.

We as a staff are following HSE Public Health advice and awaiting Department of Education and Skills guidelines.

To 6th class students/parents/guardians,
Hello to all the Confirmation people in 6th class. As you know, we should have had our Ceremony of Light this week and our Confirmation next week. Sadly with the restrictions those events will not happen yet. We have to wait until the Archbishop gives us permission to proceed before we can do anything. When he gives us the green light, we will do our best to organise your Confirmation as best we can. Unfortunately at this time, we are unable to say when or how that will happen. Just be assured that we will update you as soon as things start moving. In the meantime, keep working on your blue Confirmation book and try to have it finished. Do your best with your writing and art work so it will be a wonderful book for you to keep. Take care and stay safe!
The Confirmation Team
Dear parents/guardians,
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar announced on the 10th of April that current restrictions will remain in place until the 5th of May when they will be reviewed.
The Minister for Education and Skills Joe McHugh announced that primary schools will remain closed until further notice.
Talbot Senior School will continue with remote learning after the Easter break using our digital portfolios: Seesaw. Please make sure you have filled in the online consent form by clicking here. You will receive a Home Learning Code and your child can use this to log on to the Seesaw app – via a tablet/ Ipad/ Phone/ Chromebook/ Laptop or a PC. If you have any issues such as not receiving a code, contact us at: talbotsns@hotmail.com
Keep checking the website for further updates! 
A huge Happy Easter to all the children and families of Talbot Senior School!
We hope you have a lovely Easter Break. Well done to everyone who has been working hard using Seesaw the past few weeks. The teachers here in Talbot have been astounded at the great work that has been done.
It’s time now to take a break from the school work for two weeks – help around the house, play kindly with brothers and sisters, tidy your bedroom! Continue to wash your hands and follow all the guidelines.

Dear Parents/guardians
As you know, schools have taken a huge leap forward with online technology due to the recent school closures. We are using Seesaw – an amazing tool for online learning as a way of giving feedback to the students in our school. Some of you may have received Home Learning Codes for accessing Seesaw.
Because your children are under 13, we must have parental consent. Please give your consent by filling out the form below. If you have a few children in the school, you can use the same form for all kids. Thank You!
