Important Update 29/5/21
A confirmed case of COVID-19 in St. Ronan's N.S. has been notified to the Department of Public Health HSE.
A public health risk assessment has been undertaken and the staff and parents of any children deemed to be close contacts of the confirmed case have been contacted and advised accordingly. If you/your child is not identified as a close contact , you/ your child does not need a test for Covid-19, they can continue to attend school, and no further actions are required at this time.
If you/your child develops any symptoms suggestive of Covid-19 infection (such as a cough, a fever, loss or change in sense of taste or smell), please do not send your child to school, contact your GP and begin restricting your child’s movements, as per public health advice.
Restricted movement means avoiding contact with other people and social situations as much as possible. It is also sometimes called ‘self-quarantine’.

- Restricted movements means not attending school, not going on public transport, not having visitors to the house or visiting other people’s houses. However, provided the child/staff is asymptomatic they can go outside for walks/exercise, but only with members of their own household.
- There are no requirements for household members of these children/staff to restrict their movements. However should any of the children/staff develop symptoms such as cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, fever or loss of taste and smell, then all members of the household should self-isolate and they should contact their GP.
- Children/staff will be referred for testing which is a routine part of contact tracing. Appointments will be sent to the parents/staff member by text message. Should your child/staff member develop symptoms before or after this testing session, they should contact their GP to arrange another test.
School News
Dear parents,
I hope you are all well and enjoying the good weather. We are all delighted to be safely back at school and the Board of Management and I would like to thank you for your constant cooperation and understanding.
I have a few important news items for you.
2. We are not closing for the week after the May Bank Holiday. We are going to work right through until the end of June. Summer holidays will now start on June 24th.
3. Fr Eddie has no word yet on when we can start Holy Communions and Confirmation. His plan, as soon as he gets the go-ahead, is to hit the ground running and get the ceremonies done in small groups, as quickly as possible.
Kind regards,
Mary FitzGerald

- We applied for the Hot Lunch Scheme and I’m delighted to let you know that we were successful. This means that when the deliveries start, your child will still get their morning snack and drink, but they will now also get a hot dinner each day in school.

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”
