We are introducing a new Attendance Award to Steelstown P.S. We will have an all new Attendance Board in the foyer of Steelstown to display best overall class attendance and our 100% attenders of the month. Keep an eye out for it when you’re in. Congratulations to Miss McElhinney's P2 class who won overall attendance for September.
Steelstown P.S. is a green school. We are very proud of this achievement. We aim to be paperless with notes etc. However, if you would like a paper copy of the school newsletter, your child’s year newsletter, policies or information, please call at the school office to collect one.
Parents are encouraged to sign homework and reading each evening.
We have put in new attendance procedures in Steelstown P.S. If your child is very sick and cannot attend school, you can log onto our school website and give reason for absence and expected date of return etc. This can be accessed on the main page or by visiting the parents tab and absence report section. Note: Holidays are not to be taken during term-time. Holidays cannot be agreed by us and will be reported to the EWO.
We will have monthly attendance reports. Overall class with highest attendance will be presented with their attendance reward for the month and all children with 100% attendance will be congratulated and put up on our new attendance board.
