Dear families
As you know staff have been making contact with families each week to talk with parents/carers and the children. These calls have been very positive and supportive for most families, however, now that most staff have also established Teams meetings, with more and more children participating, these weekly calls are not necessary for all families.
Most classes are going to do two Teams meetings each week, whilst we would like all children to participate in their class meeting, we are also understanding of the fact this may not be possible. Therefore, weekly calls home will only be made if children have NOT accessed a Teams meeting that week. This is to ensure that you are all alright and have no issues accessing work. Some teachers have said they may do weekly calls regardless, but they will inform you of that themselves.
As previously informed, we do have a duty of care to ensure all of our children are well and coping during the lock down, so if we cannot make contact with you and the children, we will need to do a home visit.
If you have a missed call, please email the school a convenient time for staff to speak with you.
Please encourage the children to take responsibility of their own Office 365 accounts, this means checking and sending emails and ensuring they know when their next Teams meeting will be. Below are some useful websites to help you access Teams.
