Ireland’s Constitution states that parents are the child’s primary educators. Support from home is vital for your child’s success in school. To support your child, you can:

• Show interest in what your child is doing in school by chatting about their day, helping with homework, admiring class posts on the website, attending school events where possible 
• Consult with the school on your child’s progress by attending parent / teacher meetings
• Contact the class teacher about any concerns you may have via email info@tullyallenns.ie as a first port of call 
• Praise your child’s efforts at every opportunity - your encouragement means a lot and will motivate your child to continue trying

It is important that the school is informed if a child’s parents do not reside together. If there is a custody arrangement regarding your child the school needs to be informed. The school cannot be asked to withhold a child from either parent in the absence of a custody arrangement. In all matters pertaining to the wellbeing and education of pupils, only the parents/legal guardians named on the enrolment form will be consulted by the teachers.
