Remote Teaching & Learning Update 19th April
Created : 19 Apr 2020, 1:56 PM
Archived : 19 Jun 2020, 12:00 AM
We wish to thank parents/guardians and especially our students for your very positive engagement with our teachers leading up to the Easter break. We also wish to thank you for completing our questionnaires over the break - there is still an opportunity if you would like to complete this questionnaire. Please see your "personal notifications" on this App. We value your opinion, your support and words of appreciation for our teachers reflected in the feedback. We WILL NOT have any online lessons or assignments tomorrow Monday 20th April. Lessons and assignment will resume at 9.05am on Tuesday 21st April. We are asking students to use Monday to prepare for the term ahead - it appears that our school will be "online" for the foreseeable future. All students should catch-up on work and practice inserting photographs into a Word document to enable assignments to be submitted. We have attached a document that will assist students accessing the relevant Help Video's on our school website. We are adding to this resource as we progress. Please do not hesitate to make us aware of niggles being encountered while using MS Teams etc. We are working with our "Admin" to constantly update the "settings" to improve the experience for everyone. Teachers will strive to deliver 50% of their timetabled lessons with their students “live online” and will provide assignments to be completed during their remaining classes. This arrangement applies to all subjects. Students must log into the relevant Team for all their classes as per timetable – depending on their circumstances a teacher may go “live online” for a class that is planned for an assignment. Homework will be addressed as normal. Passwords / Student email address We can only address requests for “passwords” through the “Parent Note” facility on our App. This is to protect the integrity of the data being shared. Please ask your student not to attempt to change their password – this facility is not available to students. Once a student attempts to do this their existing password is rendered inactive in most cases. Teachers are only permitted to use the school email address for their students. Where there is any query regarding the school email addresses please use the “Parent Note” facility on our APP. We will update you further tomorrow or Tuesday morning with some guidelines on how we will proceed online - these guidelines will be guided by the feedback from our recent questionnaires.

This is the most recent update on State Examinations Fees - refund; Dear Principal, I refer to the announcements made by the Minister for Education and Skills, Mr. Joe Mc Hugh T.D., on Friday 10th April and Friday 8th May regarding the postponement and the revised arrangements of the Junior Cycle and Leaving Certificate examinations.

Refunds were processed on May 26th for all candidates that paid the examination fee online. Refunds will go back to the card/account which was used to pay the fee.

Easter Break Update 11th April

The clarity around the State Examinations is welcome and we will do our best for our students - however, there are still questions that we need answered to provide some transparency to teachers, students and parents/guardians. Your responses to our recent questionnaire will help us immensely during our deliberations as how we can proceed as a school community. Please see your "Personal Notifications" to complete if you haven't had the opportunity to date. The following extract from an article by Unicef Ireland encapsulates many of our feelings at this time: "Many of you will be feeling very angry, upset and frustrated at hearing this news. These are normal reactions and very understandable ones. Some of you may be wondering why they made this decision, others may be asking themselves “how can I keep this up until July or August”. " My advice to you is to take some time out now over the holidays and allow yourself to process these emotions of anger, frustration etc and then take some time to do things that you enjoy, within the present restrictions." This is the link to the full article - it is well worth a read by everyone in our school community. www.unicef.ie/stories/coping-with-exam-postponement/ The Managerial Bodies of the Post Primary Schools in Ireland ACCS​​, ETBI​​​, JMB​​​​ & NAPD has offered the following advice to their school communities: "In light of the revised schedule that has been announced, we would ask that our students take a complete break from their studies in this Easter period so that they can return refreshed and renewed to the learning process" Take care of yourselves. Try to enjoy some of the nice weather we are currently experiencing. School buildings will remain closed until further notice. We hope you all have a lovely Easter weekend!
