Dear Parents

Thank you for your support with Home School today.

Please do check with your daughter or son that they are receiving work for all lessons every day and do let us know if this is not the case. Sometimes, it is the case that students have simply not picked up class codes from their email account.

Invitations can go into Junk Boxes but sometimes students intentionally unenrol themselves from a class and so not receive work in Google Classroom or a Webex invitation to join a lesson. Please take a moment to check the work your daughter or son is submitting, as we have become aware of a few students clicking Hand In but then not attaching any work. These 2 issues are prevalent among but not exclusive to a number of Year 8 students.

We are very keen for all students to attend all live ‘face-to-face’ lessons to which they are invited. We are now aiming for an offer of 30% live lessons for all Year Groups.

Monday’s Tutor Time Activity is Literacy.

We hope you have set up your weekly Guardian Summary email about work carried out by your daughter or son in Google Classroom. If so you will receive your Weekly Guardian Summary today and if not please do contact us and we will help with the setup.

Next week beginning Monday, June 29th, we will be asking subject teachers to nominate students for their commitment and effort in subject live lessons and Google classroom assignments. We wish to recognize the effort and achievements of all our students, in order to celebrate their successes and resilience.

Stay safe.

Yours sincerely
