COVID Policies & Procedures

The purpose of this updated document is to provide clear and helpful guidance for the safe operation of Scoil Mhuire, Ennistymon, through the prevention, early detection and control of COVID-19. It provides key messages to minimise the risk of COVID-19 for staff, students, families and the wider community while recognising the importance of education for the health and wellbeing of students and the school community as a whole.

The intention of the Guidelines is to support our students to experience a safe, positive and successful return to school. The wellbeing and safety of our school community is at the core of all our planning. The Guidelines make best effort to balance the need for a practical and sensible level of caution with the need to provide a supportive learning environment. 

Scoil Mhuire, Ennistymon is committed to providing a safe and healthy workplace for all our staff and a safe learning environment for all our students. To ensure that, we have developed the following Covid-1 Response plan. The BOM and all school staff are responsible for the implementation of this plan and a combined effort will help contain the spread of the virus. 

This policy is influenced by the need to minimise the risk of introduction of COVID-19 into the school community and to prevent its spread. Although it is acknowledged that no single action or set of actions will completely eliminate the risk of COVID-19 transmission, adherence to this policy will contribute to the reduction of that risk of transmission.
