As a large school, we use various channels of communication to keep our families and school community up to date. Please see below for how we use each method.
Newsletters and key information to parents and carers is always emailed from the school through Groupcall. It is essential that if any parent/ carer changes their email address that they let the school know by contacting the office. You can also email the school with any queries on the following email address – Enquiries-at-knowetop@northlan.org.uk
We celebrate our news and pupil achievements regularly through our Twitter feed. We aim to have one post per class weekly and parents/ carers can decide at any time if they want their child to be on our school Twitter page. Please click on the image below to view our Twitter page.
Microsoft Teams
Since March 2020 we have been using Teams successfully with our pupils. Through lockdowns we used this to provide home learning and, as both staff and pupils have upskilled in this area, we are continuing to use for homework. Homework is uploaded weekly onto the class Teams page and any questions/ queries can be asked on the page. Some teachers also choose to use this site to upload additional photos from classroom experiences. You will need your child’s login details to access this and these will be provided annually at the beginning of each session. If details become lost then please contact the school office and we will get them sent to you.
Parents Portal
Parents Portal is a system that is used throughout Scotland and we are currently trying to get all our parents/ carers to sign up which we hope will eventually overtake a lot of our communications. It is a one stop shop for all information needed and please see the link below for additional guidance on setting this up. We are having issues getting all parents access to this as details that you register with need to be exactly the same as the details you have registered on our system. We will keep working our way through this and hopefully this will be used effectively in future.
Parent Council Facebook
We are fortunate to have a very proactive Parent Council and you can keep up to date with all the excellent work they do through their Facebook page on the following link.
