Tógadh an scoil seo i 1956. Cuireadh 3 sheomra réamhdhéanta lei i 1972 nuair a comhnascadh Scoil Bhaile Mhicheáil agus Scoil Bhaile Láir linn. Sa bhliain 2000 tógadh ceithre sheomra ranga nua agus athraíodh an tsean fhoirgnimh isteach i halla, leithris agus oifigí. The school was built in 1956. 3 prefabs were added in 1972 following the amalgamation of Ballymichael N.S. and Ballylar N.S. In 2000, 4 new classrooms were added and the original school building was converted to a main hall, with offices and toilets.
Tá an scoil seo suite sa Ghaeltacht, mar sin, ’sí an Ghaeilge príomhtheanga na scoile. Iarrtar ort, mar thuismitheoir, seo a chuir i gcuimhne do do pháistí. Caithfear an Ghaeilge a labhairt taobh istigh de bhallaí na scoile. Is cuma má tá tú féin líofa nó ar bheagán Ghaeilge, is í an Ghaeilge teanga na scoile agus labhair í. This school is situated in the Gaeltacht therefore Irish is the main language of the school. You are asked, as a parent of this school, to remind your child(ren) of this fact. Irish must be spoken at all times in the school building and yard. Also on outings where children are representing their school. Whether you are a fluent speaker of Irish yourself or if you have very little Irish, please remember that we are a Gaeltacht school and appreciate parental support and respect for our native tongue.

Bí aireach i dtaobh busanna agus trácht ar an mbóthar.
Cuir in iúl don mhúinteoir agus don pháiste má athraíonn an gnáthiompar.
Naíonáin:
Tá sé tábhachtach go mbíonn do pháiste neamhspléach, a mhéid agus is féidir. Bíodh suim agat in eachtraí laethúil do pháiste agus cinntigh go bhfaigheann sé/sí dotháin codlata, go háirithe ag tús na scoilbhliana.

Obair Bhaile
Bíonn obair bhaile ag achan rang i rith na seachtaine. Ní bhíonn obair bhaile ag an deireadh seachtaine de ghnáth. Sna Naíonáin, is fíor bheagán obair bhaile a bhíonn go dtí an dara téarma. (All classes have homework during the week except at the weekends. Infants get very little homework until the 2nd term)
An Bhus
Má thaistealaíonn pháiste ar an bhus, abair leo rialacha an bhus a chomhlíonadh. (If a child is travelling to school by bus, then they must learn the rules).
Lón
Ba chóir go mbeadh lón ciallmhar ag na páistí, m.sh… ceapairí agus torthaí, bainne agus iogárt. Tá cead ‘treat’ amháin a ghlacadh ar an Aoine. Iarrtar ar pháistí bainne, uisce nó sú torthaí a ól in ionad deochanna milis ‘fizzy’. (A sensible lunch is advised, e.g. sandwiches and fruit, milk and yogurt. The children are allowed a treat on a Friday. They are asked to drink milk, water or fruit juices instead of fizzy drinks).
Scéim Sábhála (Savings scheme)
Tá scéim sábhála ag an scoil leis an Chomhar Chreidmheasa. Bailítear an t-airgead gach Déardaoin i rith na bliana. Caithfear foirm iarratas a líonadh chun cuntas a oscailt.
The school has a savings scheme with Swilly-Mulroy Credit Union. The money is collected every Thursday morning at school. A completed application form must be submitted to open a Credit Union account.
