Home / School Communication

Teachers will communicate with parents in a variety of ways:

1. Phone – Teachers may phone parent(s) if they wish to discuss anything regarding their child in school.
2. Aladdin Connect – We use the Aladdin Connect app to communicate with individual parents / groups of parents / whole school communication.
3. Email / SMS Text Message – At times parents may be e-mailed or sent a short text.
4. COVID-19 / No Face-to-Face Meetings – While COVID-19 restrictions remain in place, teachers are unable to have face-to-face meetings with parents.

Parents who wish to contact a teacher should e-mail office@dunlaoghairens.ie and request a phone call from the teacher. The message will be forwarded to the teacher. The teacher will phone the parent as soon as possible after he / she receives the message.
