Hopefully all of P3-7 have got access to their Glow accounts now.

If this is something you are still struggling to access, please contact Mrs McNulty via email at danielle.mcnulty@eastayrshire.org.uk or you can phone her work mobile on 07561684158 where she will be available to answer your queries between the hours of 9am and 4pm, Monday – Friday.

Having access to Glow gives your child access to whole range of resources. Not only are they able to access email where they can independently submit work to their class teacher and seek support when required…

They can access their e-portfolio blog which P4-7 have been introduced to as a way of creating a personal profile and recording their learning journey which will transition with them to each stage of Primary but also beyond into Secondary school…

They can access their class Teams page where they can chat and meet virtually with their class teacher and class mates…

They also have access to Office 365. Purchasing this alone for a student package can cost around £100 and our pupils have access to it through Glow, for free! Once in O365, they have access to Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Forms, Sway and so many others. Ensure that you utilise this during Remote Learning.

If any of these icons are missing from your Launch Pad, simply click on the ‘ADD’ icon, and search for the tile by name from the app library and add it to your Launch Pad to allow you to access it quickly in future.

We are aware that some families may require additional resources to support their child whilst Remote Learning. Therefore tomorrow, Tuesday 12th January, between the hours of 10am and 12pm staff will be present in the reception area of the school.

If you require any resources please drop by.  We will have stationary, paper and jotters to help your child record their learning during the coming weeks.

Please come to the main entrance of the school, ensuring you adhere to the socially distanced markers present, wear a face covering and sanitise upon entering the reception area.

As Remote Learning begins today, we are aware that use of digital technologies, particularly Microsoft Teams may be new to many of our families.

As well as communication with your child’s class teacher, Mrs McNulty will be a point of contact to support you with any technical issues you may be facing or to answer any questions you may have.

If you require support, please complete the contact form below and Mrs McNulty will get in touch with you.
