For many young people, the online work has been progressing well. However we are aware that this is not the case for all. Please do keep in contact with us  and we will look to support you.

The main vehicle being used by teachers for the online work is Google Classroom and this is proving to be the best. Teachers are uploading work on to Google Classroom as assignments, and pupils need to look on each classroom for their work and instructions each day. (It appears that some pupils have not realised they need to check Google Classrooms).

Pupils have been using these Google Classrooms all year, and are familiar with how to use them. We have added a helpful guide created by one of our Cluster colleagues from Carlibar Primary School. It is written with primary in mind but is equally applicable to secondary pupils (and parents). Thanks for the share!

Mr Herd has also created a help sheet  to remind pupils how to submit an assignment if it is done on computer, or how to upload a picture of jotter or paper work.

Parents may well be more familiar with Show My Homework (parents cannot access Google Classroom directly). We have asked teachers to indicate on SMHW from now on when a deadline has been set for an assignment so parents can see this directly. However the main pupil work will still be on Google Classroom.
