Dear Parents/ Guardians
We hope you are all keeping well and enjoying the lovely weather.
 
With regard to Home Learning beginning on Monday 20th, we as a staff have decided to use the free app SEESAW . We are giving you this information now so you have a few days to get set up for Monday. Each student has a unique Home Learning Code to access Seesaw.
Over the next few days you will receive a Text a Parent message from the school containing your child’s/children’s unique individual Home Learning Code(s).
Once you have received this code please follow these instructions:

1. Go to https://web.seesaw.me on a computer or tablet, or install the Seesaw Class iOS or Android app on your mobile phone.2. Tap “I’m a Student”.3. Type in your Home Learning code.4. Post to your journal, respond to activities, and view class announcements.5. Remember, this code is like a password. Keep it safe! 
The SEESAW app will be used by your child’s teacher to assign work for your child. Your child will be  able to upload their work to show to the teacher. This will keep communication between teacher and pupil open.
NOTE:  Students do not see the work of any other students in the class
This is a new system for us teachers also! Let us all be patient with one another and embrace this new unprecedented challenge together to the best of our ability. If you have any queries or are having difficulty with this, please TEXT the school mobile
( 087 1131259) and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
Please note:
Ms. Canavan will continue to assign work for 3rd/4th class.
Ms. Maleady will assign work for 1st/2nd class as Ms. Hanevy is beginning her Maternity leave.
 
Yours sincerely
Pauline O’Hara  (Principal)
Emma Martin (Acting Deputy Principal)
