Parents I am writing to you about a forthcoming half day strike action by the five teaching unions in Northern Ireland. You may have seen coverage of this in the news, and I wanted to inform you about the impact this is likely to have at our school. Teachers involved in the action will, therefore, not teach their class or undertake any other duties before 12.00 noon on the strike day. St Columba's PS, therefore, will not be able to open for all pupils until 12pm. I wanted to give you early notification to be able to plan childcare arrangements for this morning. School will reopen for all pupils at 12pm and dinner will be provided for children who wish to pay and those who are entitled to FSM. Please ensure you let the school know on Tuesday if your child wishes to have dinner on this day so numbers can be prepared.
