Dear Parents,
I hope that you and your children are keeping well during these strange and frightening times. You will see from our website that the teachers have put up links to online activities that might keep your child occupied while they are confined to home.
I would like to thank all of the staff for the work they are doing to help their pupils. They were landed with this task without any notice and like everyone else, they are in uncharted waters! The teachers are going to put up work, principally for the older children and will be in contact with them through Google Classroom.
Please do not get stressed about your child’s school work. It is almost impossible to teach your own child. If it was easy, teachers would be out of a job! That said, you are your child’s primary educator and you have done so much to get him/her to where they are today.
There is no need to sit your child down for a full school day doing formal school work. The only reason that happens in school is because we are dealing with hundreds of children. Most homes don’t have access to several computers and it is hard to progress a child in Primary School without being taught by a teacher.
So how do you help your child? Below are recommendations which you may take on board:

So how do you help your child? Below are recommendations which you may take on board:
- Insofar as you can, bring structure to their day by getting them up and putting them to bed at regular hours.
- Take the opportunity to teach them life skills such as telling the time, measuring things while baking, card games, board games, gardening, nature walks, diary writing, writing lists for grocery shopping, working out which is better value (e.g. Prices of teabags), making analogue clocks, converting to digital time, interviewing family members online. The list is endless and there is lots of information on the links supplied on this website.
- If possible, give them a chance to play online Maths and English games and maybe one other subject for about an hour a day. This will keep their minds active and ensure they don’t lose valuable skills.
- Keep reading to your child. If your child is very young, read to them every day. If they are older encourage them to read for themselves. If they do nothing else but read, they will progress really well when they return to school.
- The best way to educate your child at home is to bake/garden/play and have fun together.
- These are very stressful times. Many of you are worried about your jobs, your parents and older relatives and of course your own children, especially if they are immunocompromised. Academic work is important but the most important thing, is to look after everyone’s health.
- Please do not put yourselves or your children under pressure. Your children are constantly learning. We will get through this and come out all the stronger.

A word from Mary Fitzgerald, principal
Welcome to the website of St Ronan’s National School. I hope that as you browse through this website, you will get a flavour of our most wonderful and unique school.
Whenever we have visitors, they always comment on the positive atmosphere here in St Ronan’s. This would not be possible without the hard work and absolute commitment of every member of staff, our most fantastic pupils and their wonderful parents. As the saying goes, “it takes a village to raise a child” and the community here in Deansrath are so supportive of all initiatives ongoing in our school.
There is so much happening in our school, table tennis, badminton, swimming, hill walking, running, Green School’s Committee, Music Generation, orchestra, Accelerated Reader, Power Hour, Maths Blast, chess, the list goes on and on. We celebrate the richness of the many cultures, international and Irish, amongst us and anyone who leaves us, be it past pupil or staff member, they always say “there’s no place like St Ronan’s”
Enjoy your visit to our Website!
