Monday 04 May 2020: AHS Learning Packs for new S5/6

Teachers at AHS are writing an S5/6 Home Learning Pack for you at the moment. This will be posted to all pupils moving into S5 and S6, junior high and AHS, by Monday 04 May. The pack will have some tasks to try each week in May, to help your child think about the five courses they will be studying in June.

How will your child be supported in May 2020?

The Home Learning Packs will have email addresses for AHS teachers, if you need any advice during May. You and your child can also contact myself on marnieharpe@shetland.gov.uk or gw09harpemargaret1@glow.sch.uk and I will help in any way I can such as getting in touch with AHS teachers on your child’s behalf. If you need any materials for your child’s home learning in May, please let me know and I can arrange for you to get what you need locally.

What will happen in June 2020?

By the time Monday 01 June comes, the staff at AHS will know your AHS timetable, classes and subject teachers. They will then be able to set up Microsoft Teams for each class and begin learning and teaching more formally.

Change of plans?

If your child has changed their mind about moving to AHS for S5, please speak with myself, Mrs Harpe, and I will let AHS know as soon as possible. Alternatively you can all AHS direct on 01595 808008. If your child was never intending to go to AHS in S5 you don’t have to do anything here.
