Provision of remote teaching and learning from January 11th

Dear parents/guardians and students, further to my communication last week please find further details of the arrangements for the provision of remote teaching and learning from Monday 11th January. Students are asked to follow their normal timetable during this time. This means that at the time you have each subject your teacher will be expecting you to engage with some work related to the subject that they set or attend an online live lesson or view a recorded lesson. By following the timetable this will give structure to your day and avoid clashes between subjects. All details will be provided to you by your teacher through your school email account and/or Google Classroom. Remember the format for your email is firstnamelastname@yearofentry.cpckilcullen.com So if your name is John Smith and you started in CPC in 2018 then your email address is johnsmith@2018.cpckilcullen.com Your password is whatever you set it as. I am attaching a Remote Teaching and Learning Policy and I ask that parents and students read this policy and discuss its contents. In particular it reminds you of your responsibilities in engaging with remote learning in an appropriate way. It is our hope that by engaging wholeheartedly in the process that your progress can be maintained. I know that our exam classes will have a number of questions around deadlines, projects, oral exams, mock exams, CBAs etc. We must all await guidance on this from the Department of Education (DES) and the State Examinations Commission (SEC). In the meantime try not to let these concerns distract you from the need to engage with the work your teachers provide. I will communicate any updates as soon as I receive them. In the attached photo you can see that it is also possible to access Google Classroom through Playstation or Xbox. As mentioned, please try to follow your timetable as normal. Note, that where there are non examination subjects, you are encouraged to use this time to tend to your wellbeing in a practical way, such as a movement break / physical activity, screen break etc. Your teachers may provide some guidance but in any case it is important to maintain a healthy balance during this period of school closure. Where there are live lessons these may be shorter than the full hour. As you know, the majority of students collected books etc. last Friday. There is another opportunity for students to collect books tomorrow between 10am and 12pm. Please follow the same guidelines as outlined in my post last Thursday. Parents/Guardians please note that in line with public health and government advice our admin staff are continuing to work from home. As such, if you need to contact the school please do so by email on admin@cpckilcullen.com and we will be pleased to assist. I do understand that this remains a challenging time for everybody - parents, students and staff. I sincerely hope that we are able to return to school as soon as it is safe to do so. There are many reasons to be hopeful about the future and in the meantime we all need to follow the public health advice so that we can be back in CPC as soon as possible. Take good care everybody J Leonard

Dear parents/guardians and students, I hope you are safe and well. As you will have heard through the media yesterday evening the government announced a reversal of the earlier decision to have some students in school next week. www.education.ie/en/Press-Events/Press-Releases/2021-press-releases/PR21-01-07.html Instead all students will engage in remote learning from Monday 11th January. This will mean that your son/daughter's teachers will provide continuity of teaching and learning using G-Suite for Education, including Gmail, Google Classroom, Meet etc., as well as the Zoom platform on occasion. There will be a mixture of live lessons and appropriate tasks set through these platforms. It is important that your son/daughter is able to access their school email account which is the gateway to Classroom etc. If there are any issues with logging in please email admin@cpckilcullen.com and we will try to assist. I will provide a reminder of the guidelines around remote learning before Monday. I would like to thank the students who came into school today to collect books for the manner in which they did so. There will be a further opportunity for students to collect books etc on Monday between 10am and 12pm. In the meantime, continue to take care and stay safe. J Leonard

Dear parents/guardians and students, I hope this message finds you well and I wish each member of the school community a Happy New Year. As you are aware the government announced yesterday afternoon plans for in-school and remote learning provision during the period of school closure until February 1st. www.education.ie/en/Press-Events/Press-Releases/2021-press-releases/PR21-01-06.html As I write schools have received no official communication from the DES in addition to what was announced through the media yesterday. Like many of you I have serious concerns regarding how this plan will work and the wisdom of it. Nevertheless, be assured that work is underway to achieve the best for the whole school community. There are a huge number of complex logistical challenges in the proposed arrangements. I will update you with further information over the next 24-48 hours and ask for your patience while this work continues. In the meantime, the school will be open for students to collect books etc from their base classroom from 10am tomorrow, Friday 8th January, using the following schedule: Surname A-F 10am-11am Surname G-L 11.30am-12.30pm Surname M-R 2pm-3pm Surname S-Z 3pm-4pm Students are asked to come individually to the school, not in groups. Students should sanitise their hands on entry, sign in near reception and collect their books as quickly as possible. Face masks must be worn throughout. The total number of students admitted to the building at any one time will be limited and students asked to wait should continue to observe distancing guidelines. No parents will be allowed entry to the school building. Nobody should present to the school if they are feeling unwell in any way or have been in contact with anybody who feels unwell. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Kind regards J Leonard
