All class teachers from the Social Subjects department have updated their various groups on both Edmodo and Microsoft Teams on Glow. The groups will allow your child to access class tasks, resources, as well as a safe and secure means of communication with their Social Subject teachers.
Each year group, subject and teacher are outlined below for you to join the appropriate class.
Want to get involved in weekly debates on topics chosen by young people?
There will be a series of debates every week allowing you to share your thoughts on topics which are important to young people. You will also earn 50 Young Scot reward points for giving your opinion.
There are 3 debates every week. Here are some examples of the topics:
Should the SQA have consulted young people in the process of changing the way grades are awarded and should young people be offered the chance to resit any exams they feel they could have done better in?
From now on, all school work should be delivered virtually using online methods of teaching and submission of work.

Edmodo class groups have been created for Tech. Studies.
The codes for First Year and Second Year are as follows, please join the appropriate group:
First Year: byirsh

A reminder that many staff within the school have been working together to upload resources onto Edmodo, a user friendly website and app on which teachers can post resources on a subject-by-subject basis and on which safe and secure communication can take place between class teachers and pupils. A link to the Edmodo website can be found under Useful Websites below left or by clicking here.
Edmodo provides a means of contact between class teachers and pupils in each Edmodo class group.
Link 1 provides information on the creation of an Edmodo profile and a step-by-step process on how to join classes.
Link 2 provides a list of class codes from each department. Pupils should join relevant classes only.
Through these tough times it is important that we all stay positive, stay happy and remember to reach for the stars in everything we do!
Your Taylor teachers are here for you always!
We hope you enjoy our LipDub!

“The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.” – Dolly Parton
Have an ‘eggcellent’ Easter from all of us at Taylor!

Here is an update on the procedures for accessing the North Lanarkshire Council New Stevenston Hub Booking System. A Key Worker’s form has been added via a link from a QR code below. Scan the QR code by accessing the camera on your phone, then clicking the pop-up link.
This form should be completed by parents/carers classed as key workers who are helping deliver vital services and who require their children to attend one of the North Lanarkshire Hubs during the school closures because they have no alternative childcare arrangements. Completion of this form will allow the hub and the authority to gather more accurate information about your childcare needs in the weeks ahead.
**IMPORTANT**
Both parents/carers or a single parent/carer must be key workers in one of the categories 1, 2 or 3 previously published by North Lanarkshire Council.
Please click on this link to see the Key Worker’s list.
The New Stevenston Hub can be contacted at 01698 522730.
All pupils have been added to their own Registration Group in Microsoft Teams in Glow. The purpose of these teams is to allow pupils to maintain regular contact with their Pupil Support Teacher and Depute Head Teacher while the schools are closed. They can also message them privately if they need any advice or support at this time.
Please encourage all of your children to access this resource and let their Pupil Support Teacher know how they are.
How to access Microsoft Teams:
Login to Glow>Scroll to the bottom of the page>Click Microsoft teams.
The Microsoft Teams App can also be found on the App store. Download the app and sign in with your Glow account to gain access.
We understand that there may have been a number of enquires in relation to entitlements to Free School Meal. The following information may be of use to parents/carers in the first instance:
· The first vouchers have been issued in the post for all eligible pupils – some parents confirmed that they were received a few days ago.
· The FME Team are experiencing a high volume of enquiries from parents and carers at the moment, appreciate their frustrations and are trying to respond as quickly as possible.
· Delays to the normal postal service have resulted in parents waiting longer than they normally would for 1st class deliveries. ALL VOUCHERS WERE POSTED FIRST CLASS.
· The FME Team have asked that parents/carers email them on receipt of their voucher to confirm up to date contact telephone number so that we can move to an SMS delivery method in the future.
· It is also noted that a number of parents have not updated their contact number/home address with their child’s school resulting in further delays.
· All young people attending Hubs will receive free meals regardless of entitlement.
For any enquires or further information about Free school meals, please refer to the link below or contact the Team at FME@northlan.gov.uk.
