Summer Newsletter 2026

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Welcome to the last edition of our Newsletter for the 2025-2026 school year. Above all years, this year seems to have passed in the blink of an eye! Nonetheless, it has been an exceptional year in all respects. I would like to begin by thanking the boys and girls for their participation and for their efforts throughout the year and in particular for how they represented the school on many occasions. They were absolutely fantastic and we are incredibly proud of their efforts. Equally, I would like to thank all of the parents, guardians and families who have continually supported us throughout the year. Your co-operation is greatly appreciated. I would like to also pay tribute to our fantastic Parents` Association and our wonderful Board of Management who continually strive to support the school in every way possible, for the good of the children. Buíochas ó chroí libh ar fad.

Last but not least, I would like to pay particular tribute to the outstanding staff that we have here in Clashmore National School. They are dedicated and hard-working and they always go above and beyond for the children and for me as Principal. I could not do my job as a Teaching Principal without this fantastic team of people, I owe them a great deal of gratitude between the Teachers, SNA`s, our ancillary staff- our Secretary Laura, our Caretaker Mick and our Cleaner and Hot Food Operative Tracey.

Please see below for further updates and for a review of what has been a wonderful 2025-2026 school year!
