Our School Day

Arrival: 8:20am*

School Starts: 8:30am

Break Times: 10am-10:15am and 12pm-12:25pm

School Finishes: 1:10pm for infants and 2:10pm for 1st-6th classes

*The children can begin to line up at 8:20am on the school yard. Staff supervision is not available before this time. Punctuality is very important. Arriving at 8:20am gives children an opportunity to socialise with their friends and assists with a more settled start to the school day. On wet mornings, children are directed to the school hall.

Clothing

Children wear their clothes of choice each day as METNS does not have a school uniform. It is important to ensure that children wear runners and tracksuits on the designated P.E days. Comfortable clothing is advisable as classes are active and the pupils need to be enabled to move freely. All coats should be labelled with you child’s name

Hot Meal Scheme

Maynooth Educate Together NS operates a Hot Meal Scheme. Our providers are the School Food Company. Pupils are provided with a small portion sized complimentary hot meal each day, which is ordered via a smartphone app. A morning snack and drink must be provided by parents/guardians and extra snacks are recommended in case your child does not like the meal you have ordered for them. Speak with your child regularly to ensure you are ordering foot that they will eat and enjoy.
