Sample Notification Letters to Parents

For COVID-19 return to school forms, please see here.

Below are a selection of letters to parents, in English and Irish, informing them of certain, milder infectious diseases that, after discussion with your local Department of Public Health, you may find useful to be able to send to parents. If a case appears in your childcare facility, the letters may help to provide information for parents and to allay anxiety.

These letters are available in Microsoft Word format so that they can be modified to suit your own needs.
