Dear Parent & Guardian,
I trust that all continues to be safe and well with your family.
A few of you have indicated that you are unable to access your child's Google Classroom (GC) or WhatsApp messages. One of the reasons for this is that you have changed your email address or mobile number and have not informed the school. Should that be the case, kindly whatsapp me at 496 6796 with the updated information. Please share this number with parents who you know are having difficulty accessing GC.
Please note that in order to streamline our pupils list and be more efficient in our instructional delivery and follow up, beginning the week of 27th April, we can only give one parent per child, or the child, access to Google Classroom.
Some parents are also concerned about the amount of classwork coming through their whatsapp. Kindly note that it is important that teachers continue to deliver the Term 3 curricula as much as possible. Ideally, it is best to use Google Classroom for school work hence I encourage you to make the switch to Google Classroom at soonest and contact your grade teacher if you are experiencing further difficulties.
Further, I note that teachers are receiving work from pupils at some ungodly hours, eg 11:00 pm when children should be in bed. I urge you to remember our platform is for pupils' work. We understand that some pupils do not have the typing skills but all work submitted must be the child's work, assigned and supported during school hours.
I encourage ALL parents to use Spellzone. By now you should have received your child's username and password. For pupils in Grades K to 1 at least 15 minutes a day is suggested while pupils is grades 2 to 6 can spend at least 15 minutes in the morning and a similar time in the afternoon. Do support and supervise your child with the Spelling Ability Test, the Spelling Course as well as the Word Lists. Kindly note this is the second time our school is providing this platform for pupils. If most pupils are not using spellzone by the 29th May the school will have no option but to terminate, again, its use for all pupils.
Finally, I have attached a Parenting Video which I trust you fine useful as we continue this COVID 19, 24 hours curfew shutdown, be patient.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Best wishes
