ePortal
ePortal provides you with live, powerful information regarding your child's academic progress in Gaelcholáiste Luimnigh. The parental view is designed to give you the most direct information about results, attendance and previous reports.
Student Details
This holds basic information on your child such as Name, Form Group, Address, Home Contact, Doctor’s name and telephone number. If you notice that any of this information is incorrect please contact the school so we can update our records appropriately.
Notice Board
This area allows the school to leave relevant messages for parents. This might be a reminder about Parents’ Evening, collections for trips or any other information we feel is relevant to directly communicate to you about what is going on more generally within the school. At present we have not finalised what information will be shown here and what would be better displayed on the ‘Parents’ area of the school website.
Reports
The Reports section provides you with an electronic copy of any school reports that will have reached you by post. This will include copies of the Student Progress Report and Junior Certificate/Leaving Certificate examination results.
If you press on the ‘more’ button in this section you will see the full list of reports that exist for your child.
Timetable
The front page view of the timetable shows your child’s timetable for the present day. By pressing on ‘more’ you see the whole week view. This will enable you to check that your child is fully prepared with books/equipment for their day at school.
Attendance
The front page view shows a small pie chart and a key with the relevant percentage statistics for Presents, Lates, Absences and Authorised Absences. If you press ‘more’, you will see a detailed breakdown of the number of sessions that have been marked with the attributes mentioned. We count a school day as being made up of two sessions – an AM and PM session. There is also a session
by session account of any Absences or Lates. It is set up to show you only the statistical absences – these include non-authorised absence, illness, family holiday (not agreed), medical appointments, and other authorised circumstances. You can see the full list of statistical absences and non statistical absences by ticking the relevant boxes. You can also tick the ‘Lates’ box to see the dates of
any late marks accrued.
This is a very useful tool if you want to look further at any attendance issues that you might have become aware of. The information in E-Portal is ‘live’ so as soon as a teacher completes their register the information can be viewed by you.
Events
The events section is used to record behavioural issues.
‘Bileogí Bhuí are given to students if they do not have acceptable reasons for not having correct uniform or equipment, for not working in class, for failing to hand in homework, or repeated poor behaviour.
