Guidelines for the use of Reduced School Days in Schools

The purpose of this circular is to inform school management authorities that Guidelines on the use of Reduced School Days have been developed to provide clarity to school authorities and parents/guardians around the use of reduced school days in schools. This is to ensure that Reduced School Days are only used in a manner that is limited, appropriate and absolutely necessary, in line with the Department of Education’s guidelines.

Further information on the use of the reduced school day is available here.

Please use the following link to the Tusla Education Services portal.

This portal should be used to notify Tusla Education Support Service of the use of reduced school days.
