IMPORTANT: Digital Learning Information • Students who have school email issues please email [email protected] or [email protected] • If you have any schoolwise queries you can send an email to [email protected] You must have be able to access a valid school email to use schoolwise . Students should check various online platforms once in the morning and once in the afternoon. School management will send a text home to ask students to check for work at 10 am and 1pm each day. At least one working day will be given for work to be completed as an increasing number of parents are now working from home and there may only be one device to access online. Teachers will also let students know when they will post work again i.e. If teachers intend to give work on the days that they have your child as per timetable each week or students may have assigned work for a longer period of time. TY students will soon recieve a spreadsheet with work sent via TY parental communication. LCA Edmodo groups have been set up for both classes and work forwarded has been put up for students. In terms of students that are not engaging. We have added a ‘not engaging in online work’ descriptor in vsware behavior and have sent a text to each parent to monitor this. We have also added a list of all the staff emails to the website. We have reminded students that they should only use their school emails if they need to contact teachers. http://www.mpps.ie/Page/School-Staff/405/Index.html http://www.mpps.ie/Page/Staff-contact-details/542/Index.html Staff email format: First Name Initial .
