Dear Parents,
We are all looking
forward to returning to school on February 1st but in the meantime
our aim is to make our system of Remote Teaching as practical and user friendly
as possible. We realise this can be challenging but we are here to help. After
much positive feedback in our two surveys we will be providing a similar
approach to last time with some small adjustments.
As we attempt to find
the correct balance of work once again we may make certain adjustments to our
methods of assigning and receiving work. 81% of parents responded that the
amount of work assigned by the teachers was ‘just about right’. Opinion
was divided on how often to assign work so we will use the same approach as
last year and our message is – Do what you can, whenever you can.
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 assignments and
correcting activities. In doing so, they may prioritise the assignments they
respond to but they 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 via text or email. You will then be able to
privately message the teacher who will respond as soon as possible within
school hours. This has made the delivery of Remote Teaching much easier for us
as a staff and we encourage all parents to download it.
