Distance Learning/Covid-19

January 2021

Dear Parents/Guardians,

As you will be aware, schools have been closed once more and so we will be using the distance learning app called Seesaw Class App.  The children will have already received their codes and should be able to access Seesaw.  Any issues with this, please contact Tracy Fitzgerald, HSCL.  Those who have engaged during the previous forced closure should be familiar with the platform.  It had worked very well and it was a great credit to both our pupils and their parents’ as we made our way through those difficult times. We find ourselves faced with the challenge of remote teaching and trying to provide learning opportunities for our school community.  Once again, the school staff has been working very hard to provide learning opportunities and activities to create interest and challenge for your children while they are not able to attend school.   We sincerely request that you all support your child/children’s learning in this way.

It is important that your children stay focussed on some work/activities and I appeal for those of you who have not engaged frequently or at all to try to join in.  The link is at the bottom of the page explains how Seesaw works.  To facilitate your child’s learning all the required text books will be delivered during this week.  The work for each week will be set by the class teachers on Seesaw.

As I am sure you will understand that the future is still uncertain and may well contain an ongoing element of distance learning.  To this end, I appeal for all families to try to engage with our chosen platform as much as possible.

Thank you for your co-operation.

Yours sincerely,
