Home Learning when isolating due to Covid-19
If a pupil has to isolate due to COVID 19, they will be contacted by a member of staff from Firpark Secondary. If the pupil is feeling well enough and a request for school work is made, then their school iPad will be sent home as soon as possible.
Their work will be sent to them through the Microsoft Teams App. Pupils use this regularly in school. Subject teachers will post work in the relevant team channel when appropriate.
The team and channel will be in bold text if something has been posted. The pupils can post a message to the relevant teacher in the team channel chat.
Any relevant passwords pupils will need should be stored on their iPad.
- S1-3 will be sent Maths and English tasks, other subjects will do so when appropriate.
- S4-6 will be sent work, where appropriate, from all their subjects.
If a pupil has any issues accessing work in Teams please contact Mrs McKellar by calling the school 01698 522744 or email her at nlmckellare@northlan.org.uk
