Dear Friends:
Firstly Happy Easter to everyone, hope you are all well and keeping busy during these funny times. As you will all be well aware at this stage we have now been told schools are remaining closed until further notice. Like we have been doing up to now and increasing our support with each new announcement we will continue to further increase our support in this next period until May 5th.
The first thing we will do is send home more work and more books with instruction for the boys to be doing school tasks at home. We are busy preparing this work this week and will invite you in to collect these on Sunday evening next April 19th. It is extremely important for continuity of schooling that you arrange collection of this material on Sunday. We will text you with a time for you to call to the school.
We are also setting up a virtual classroom for each class in St. Colmcille’s. This is called Google Classroom. Google Classroom is a free and secure learning management system/Social network for teachers, students and schools. It provides a safe and easy way for teachers to connect with you and your student by sharing content, assignments, classroom videos, activities, and reminders.
To join your son’s classroom on Google Classroom, follow these steps:
1. https://classroom.google.com/
2. Sign in using an email address
3. Click on the + sign in the upper right hand corner of the screen and select join class.
4. Key in your unique code.
1st Class – pfscax2
2nd Class – akpks7u
3rd Class – njr66kg
4th Class – bt3j27f
5th Class – ozahdns
6th Class – fxx2hlc
6. Select JOIN.
Teachers will be posting regularly to their Google Classroom from Monday April 20th onwards.
Any queries, do not hesitate in emailing the school at stcolmcillens@eircom net
Many Thanks,
Conor Doyle
