Here are a number of tutorials created by Miss Cluckie that will help parents/carers/pupils  access the different resources we are using online for distance learning.

Video 1:  Accessing Glow Sharepoint

Video 2:  Accessing Microsoft Teams

Video 3:  Accessing Edmodo

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.

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.
