SQA – What You Need To Know
Digital Learning Survey
Thank you to all parents who completed our recent Digital Learning survey. We have collated the most common responses and written some feedback on each one. We appreciate and value all feedback from parents and use this to improve our practice.
Learning at Home
The following document from the National Parent Forum of Scotland gives some advice and tips for learning during lockdown – NPFSNutshellFinal.
Cyber Scotland Week 2021
Next week is Cyber Scotland Week. We want to help increase your cyber awareness.
Visit the Cyber Scotland Week website for resources, events, news and more. There’s something for everyone!
For example, on Monday there’s a ‘How to create strong passwords’ webinar.
You can also visit the following Connect pages for more guidance.
Assistant Support Worker Opportunity
Below is a link to a really exciting job opportunity for 20 young people aged 16-24 for the position of Assistant Support Worker within CLD. These posts are funded through the same SG Youth Guarantee monies I emailed you about at the beginning of the week. Applicants should be qualified to SCQF level 4 (my understanding is that this is not essential). Closing date is 1 March 2021. Posts funded until 31 March 2022. An absolutely brilliant opportunity for 20 of our young people.
Lateral Flow Device Testing
All staff and senior phase pupils who are returning to school over the next few weeks are being offered the opportunity to take part in Lateral Flow Device Testing. This is a testing programme which has been introduced to help identify people without symptoms of coronavirus ie they are asymptomatic.
The test is only available to staff and pupils who are in attendance at school, it is not necessary for pupils who are continuing to work at home. Participation in the test is voluntary however taking part may help identify sources of transmission.
The following information was sent home to parents/carers on Friday.
S5 Return to School Timetable
Please find a copy of the return to school timetable for S5 below. I would ask you to note the following –
- week A and week B are different.
- Due to restrictions on numbers, full classes sometimes cannot attend and therefore classes have been put into groups for this reason. Pupils should check their class Team to find out which group that they are in.
- Pupils should attend their subject at the correct group and column time if a subject is on the timetable twice.
