Return to School and Home learning Arrangements

The staff of Carmondean Primary School are looking forward to welcoming back to school all our learners after the extended school closure we have all experienced. As you will be aware, not all children will be returning on Wednesday, 12 August – only P1, P2/1, P2 , P3 and P4 children will attend school on that day while P5, P6 & P7 will be involved in Home Learning. Arrangements for Home Learning for these children are as follows:

HOME LEARNING

 Wednesday, 12 August, 2020 – Primaries 5-7

Children in Primaries 5-7 will be able to access home learning on Microsoft TEAMS as they did during school closure. Please note, TEAM names will have changed, e.g., if your TEAM was previously called P5A 2019-2020, it will now be called  P6A 2020-2021, and so on. Instructions and resources for home learning will be posted to the TEAM General Channel in time for start of the school day on Wednesday, 12 August.

If a reminder is needed on how to access TEAMS, instructions are below:

1. Go to www.westlothian.org.uk
2. Click the GLOW icon
3. Log in to Glow using your Glow Login (begins with ‘wl’) and password
4. Locate the TEAMS tile and click on it (it is in the little temple tab on the left-hand side of the page)
5. If you are asked to login to your Microsoft Account or Teams, the login is in the form ‘wlXXXXXXXX@glow.sch.uk’ where wlXXXXXXX is your normal Glow login. Your password is the same as for GLOW.
6. If you have problems logging in, send an email to the school email address and it will be dealt with as soon as is practicably possible: wlcarmondean-ps@westlothian.org.uk

Children in  P5, P6 & P7 will return to school as normal on Thursday, 13 August.

HOME LEARNING

Thursday, 13 August – Primaries 2, 3 and 4

Children in Primaries 2,  3 and 4 will have been in in school on Wednesday, 12 August, and will have been given instructions and materials for home learning for Thursday, 13 August.

Please note that, to promote physical distancing,  apart from P1 children, parents/carers will not be allowed entry to  the school estate, so will be unable to accompany their children beyond the outer school gates. Please discuss this with your child/ren before returning to school for the fisrt time so they are aware of these arrangements and the reasons for them.
