It has been a pleasure and a privilege to teach these amazing students.  We will miss them and wish everyone all the very best next year as they start secondary school.

We planned a week of celebrations for the Class of 2020 that included SeeSaw presentations. messages from staff and videos

Before our pupils finished their time at Oakgrove, P7 Teachers, Classroom Assistants and Mrs Donaghey visited each pupil at home to deliver certificates, trophies, prizes and a keepsake goodie bag for everyone.

Oakgrove IPSN staff wish to say a big goodbye and good luck to our amazing P7 Leavers on what would have been their final day at Oakgrove. We are so proud of you and wish you all the best for the future.

Dear Parents/Carers,

We wanted to let you know that your child’s Mathletics account will be refreshed on Monday 27th July 2020, ready for the results from the next school year.

What does this mean?

• Results are reset so you’ll only see the latest and most relevant results.
• Progress bars are reset so you can see how your children are progressing with this years curriculum.

What about their Achievements?

Your child’s Avatar, certificates, and Live Mathletics scores will still be there, ready for another exciting year of maths!

What do I have to do?

Oakgrove will take care of everything.  They’ll set your child’s new curriculum and learning journeys, and you’ll be able to use Mathletics at home in the meantime.  It will be fresh start in Mathletics for the new school year.

We are lucky to be accepted for a LIVE Online Assembly with Google and ParentZone on:

Monday 15th June at 2pm (for 30-45 minutes) for P4-P7 pupils and teachers.

Our local MP Colum Eastwood is interested in joining us and may post about it on Social Media.

The assembly is designed to be fun and interactive. Please find links to the stream the Assembly below.  Children must be supervised when using YouTube and there is a Permission Slip for Parents/Carers on the School App for pupils tuning in from home. The assembly is designed for 7 to 11-year-olds and the pupil link is marked as ‘Made for Kids’ so chat will be automatically disabled. You won’t need to create an account or download any additional software for your child.

As well as on SeeSaw, below you will find:

1. Virtual Assembly Invitation and
2. Virtual Assembly Activity Sheet for pupils to fill out before/during the assembly.  If you are able to, it would be great if you could send your questions about online safety to your teacher on SeeSaw as soon as possible.

Parents/carers, if you have any questions, we recommend clicking here checking out the FAQs on the ParentZone Website.

New Nursery and Primary 1 pupils received placement letters directly from the Education Authority. Please email info@oips.lderry.ni.sch.uk to accept/decline the offer of a school place.

In your email, please include your child’s name and whether it is for a Nursery or Primary 1 place. For Nursery, you can also specify if you have a preference for morning (9.00-11.30am), afternoon (12.30-3.00pm) or no session preference. While we can’t guarantee that you will get your preferred session, we will do our best to try.

We are currently awaiting further guidance regarding new pupil induction sessions which usually take place in May and June. We will be in touch by letter or email once these arrangements have been clarified. You can keep up to date with Oakgrove IPSN news on the school website and also on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
