REMINDER: As a school we are promoting the use of the Parents Portal system.  It has many advantages, which are outlined in the letter below.  Please click the link below to read the letter and create an account if you can. This is the system we will be using to send home important information and letters etc.

Parents Portal letter 2020

Thank you to everyone who logged into our Room 1 Team yesterday to say hello. We would love to see a few more today so that we know that everyone is able to get access to our homework. Have a safe and relaxing weekend.

REMINDER: On our school blog we have a parent information tab. In this area you will find useful information about how to download and sign in to the TEAMS app etc. It also allows you to see the steps to follow when logging in etc and takes you through some of the features.

I have heard from some parents who were having trouble logging in.  They had to delete the app and reinstall it. This may be something you could try if you are having difficulty.

As you already know, our school will be using Microsoft Teams for digital learning, including the setting of homework.  The pupils have been using Teams in class and are familiar with logging in and using this platform to its full potential. Our class teachers in the junior and senior departments have helped them with this and have been covering key skills, such as, uploading photos, using the chat feature and completing polls etc. As you will appreciate, this is incredibly difficult to do in the infant department and at the moment the focus at this stage is to teach them how to read and write. There is however, a step by step Teams guide on our blog in the parent information tab to help our parents/carers in P1-3 support their child at home with this.  It is a great platform, which allows pupils, their peers and their teacher to communicate together too.

If you are having trouble downloading the Teams app or logging in please don’t hesitate to contact me for further support. elainepaterson@langloan.n-lanark.sch.uk

Last week we focused on ordering numbers to 10 and reading and writing the common words we have learned. As homework starts online soon it would be a great idea to help our class sign into Teams at home this week and say hello just to make sure everything is working as it should. We hope you enjoy our video.

Dear Parent,

As you will have seen from emails sent out by the school, our homework programme will be starting after the September weekend. Due to the ongoing pandemic we are using Microsoft Teams to post our weekly homework tasks. Teachers will either assign work to the class Teams page and then your child can upload a photo of their homework into their own designated folder in the class files section or  teachers may also use the assignments tab to set homework, which keeps their work private and notifies the teacher as to when it has been handed in. The teacher will then provide feedback, which can be reviewed by the pupil.

It is best to download the Microsoft Teams app in preparation for this. If you are having trouble logging into Teams or require assistance please do not hesitate to contact me and I will be happy to help. My email address is elainepaterson@langloan.n-lanark.sch.uk
