While we all hope that the school will not have to close due to Covid-19, we want to be prepared should this come about.
In this event, we will use Google Classroom to communicate with students, assign work, guide tuition etc.
It is important that all students ensure that they can logon in advance of any closure.
We have put up an information page on our school website explaining how to do so for students who may not have already used Google Classroom. You can access this page at www.taylorshill.ie/education/online-classroom/students.php
Teachers will be preparing for this over the coming days and will put up classes should the school close.

Application to Borrow a Chromebook from the School

The Department of Education and Skills is providing funding to schools to purchase computer devices for students who do not have access to suitable devices to enable them fully access their online learning. By this we mean if you do not have access to a laptop or desktop computer to use - phones and tablets without keyboards are good for viewing content, but you really need a keyboard to be able to type answers, create content etc.
The process of accessing this funding and purchasing equipment will take time, however, we in the school are looking for ways to speed this up and get devices quickly to students who need them.
If students do not have access to a laptop or desktop computer, they may apply to borrow a school Chromebook by completing the form at the link below.
The number of devices we have presently available is limited (although we will be able to purchase additional Chromebooks over the coming weeks), so priority will be given to students in exam years with no access at all, or limited access, to such devices (some people may have some access but are sharing it with others in their homes so find it difficult to get time on the device).
Please note that any devices given to students will remain the property of Dominican College and must be returned to the school when requested.
Full responsibility for the care of the devices will rest with the students and their parents/guardians. If the devices are damaged, repairs or replacement will be the responsibility of the student's parents/guardians.
The application form can be found at forms.gle/1Vx5Bx3n4pBAbTw29
Applications should be submitted no later than 12pm on Tuesday 28th April.

The Government announced today that it is making funding available for the purchase of laptop devices for the use of students who do not have adequate access to technology at this time.
According to reports, priority will be given to supporting students in exam years.
We are awaiting official notification from the Department of Education & Skills, but once we receive that and are informed of the details, we will notify students and parents.
