At Lochnorris we are continuing to use an online system of Learning Journals to record and share significant points of learning with our parents/carers. This system enables you to access and comment on your child’s ongoing progress and learning. Our older pupils will be able to upload and share their own learning with parents/carers.
Parents and carers can access their child’s profile online from home. P1 pupils who have transitioned from Cherry Trees will have have the same learning journal as last session. You should use the same unique username, password and pin that you previously created. If you have forgotten these details, you can reset them on the learning journals website/app.
Please click the link below to access the learning journal website.
