Good Morning everyone and Happy New Year.

This is not the New Year wishes we hoped to be sending but as we embark on another national lockdown we wanted to let you know we are here to support in any way we can.

Following information from Scottish Government, we will begin remote learning for all pupils from Monday 11th January 2021.  This means that each day your child’s teacher will be online between 9am and 10.30am and again from 1.30pm until 3.00pm (unless they are supporting families eligible for Emergency Key Worker Support).  Teachers will be providing a range of learning experiences for the children within their class focusing on Literacy, Numeracy and Health & Wellbeing.  As before, activities will be posted by 3pm each Friday afternoon to allow parents to plan ahead if required.  Work will only be posted on Google Classroom and not on the school app or website.

Tomorrow (Friday) information will be posted on the app giving all the details as well as information on how to access Google Classroom and Glow.  If you require a reminder of your child’s glow username and password, please contact the school office, ideally by email, who will be happy to help you.

Within the Carluke Learning Community we have produced a parent guide (see below) which identifies the differences between home learning (homework) blended learning (some pupils in school) and remote learning (national lockdown).  This is a community wide approach being used by all primary schools in Carluke.

A form will be posted via the app soon on which parents can request any additional support.

Thank you for your support and understanding whilst we finalise our plans for remote learning.  We are here to help in any way that we can.

Kind Regards,

Mrs Brennan
