Message to Parents
Dear Parent/Guardians,
We hope you and your families are keeping well in these most challenging of times.
Skibbereen Community School is continuing to provide as much education as is possible for our students using online and distance learning as this fast evolving crisis unfolds.
Students can access the educational resources being provided by using their Microsoft 365 accounts and the associated App – TEAMS.
Students should follow their normal timetable routine during which their teachers will be in touch with them through a combination of posting work, setting assignments, providing feedback, live chats/check ins and online classes.
We acknowledge that this is not always easy in the home environment where there may be poor broadband or sharing of devices between a number of students.
However, we are asking you to encourage your son/daughter to engage with this educational program as much as they possibly can and in particular to follow their normal timetable times to access work and complete assignments.
We thank you for your continued patience and support during this unprecedented crisis. Working together as a school community of students, parents and teachers we can overcome the challenges and difficulties that lie ahead.
We will continue to keep you informed of any updates as they happen.
The most important thing we can all be doing now is to follow the guidance being given to us regarding physical distancing and looking after the health of ourselves and our families.
I wish you all continued good health. Thinking of you all.
Anton O Mahony
Principal
Skibbereen Community School
