Dear Parent/Guardian,
As you are now aware, education for all students will be done remotely from Monday onwards. All Year Groups will be expected to follow their normal school timetable. Please read the information points below which may be of help . Our School Community uses Microsoft Teams to teach our students remotely.
Microsoft Products such as Teams, Outlook Email, Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Lens can be accessed through your son/daughter’s Microsoft 365 School Account.
Please contact info@skibbereencommunityschool.ie if your son/daughter needs to reset their 365 Password.
Microsoft Teams and all the other Microsoft apps can be accessed on a mobile phone, tablet, laptop, desktop and on an xbox/playstation gaming console. (Instructions on how to use a gaming console are on the school website) Internet/Mobile Data connectivity must be available.
It is expected that your son/daughter will follow their normal school timetable from next Monday morning. Each class subject has their own online TEAMS Group with their classmates. Roll call will be taken.
They will receive online tuition from their teachers through a number of formats; live classes, video tutorials, online assignments. Microsoft Teams will allow them to communicate with their teacher, contribute to live classes, submit work and do online tests.
It is important that they have a quiet space to work with their books, exercise copybooks and writing materials. Headsets or earphones may be required.
It is also important that each Parent/Guardian monitor their child’s progress. Discuss their online work with them. A summary of each Subject’s Weekly Work Plan will be posted on the school website to let you see what work they have covered.
