Dear Parents,
Thank you very much for
your patience and understanding as we all embrace this new and different
approach to education. We are all looking forward to returning to school but in
the meantime our aim is to make our system as practical and user friendly as
possible.
Though face to face
contact cannot be replaced, the very early indications are that Seesaw is
helping to bridge the gap somewhat. As we attempt to find the correct
balance of work we may make certain adjustments to our methods of assigning and
receiving work. As you can appreciate, different approaches are better
suited to each class level. There has been some wonderful work uploaded
already and well done to the students on their enthusiastic start.
Every assignment issued is
optional and every family’s circumstances differ so please remember the health
and well-being of the school community is the number one priority. We only
expect pupils to try their best. Parents can decide if they are comfortable
with the level of the child’s engagement and adjust it accordingly. Teachers
will be allocating time to creating and correcting activities. In doing so,
they may prioritise the assignments they respond to but will see everything you
submit.
To enhance the privacy and
quality of our Parent – Teacher communication, the teachers will invite you to
join the family link app today, Wednesday 22nd April. You will receive a
text message with a link to access this. You will then be able to
privately message the teacher who will respond as soon as possible within
school hours.
If for any reason your
child has not been able to engage with the Seesaw app please contact me on the
school mobile or email.
Kind Regards
Paul Horan
