Remote Learning Update
05/02/21
The information below will help support pupils and families with learning at home in the coming weeks.
S1 and S2
We have been careful not to give S1 and S2 pupils too much work over the last few weeks however in order that pupils are given the opportunity to engage with all their subjects we have put together a Remote Learning Structure for the coming weeks.
Teachers will continue to set work for classes in Microsoft Teams in line with the structure below.
S3
S3 pupils should continue completing work set each weeks by all of their teachers in Microsoft Teams.
Pupils may also want to take part in the S1-S3 Lockdown Live webinars run by e-sgoil that can be accessed by selecting the image on the below.
Senior Phase
We encourage Senior pupils to continue to focus on their learning during this challenging time. Senior pupils should make sure that they are regularly completing work set each week in all of their subjects.
Pupils may also want to take part in the Lockdown Live webinars run by e-sgoil. There are daytime and evening Study Support sessions available in a number of N5, Higher and Advanced Higher courses. Click on the image below for more information
