This year your child will have access to two Google Classrooms which have been set up for two different purposes. The first of these is the Homework Classroom which your child’s teacher will use weekly to set homework and share important information. The second is the Remote Learning Classroom which will only be used if your child’s class is quarantined or school is forced to close.
Homework Classroom
All of your child’s homework for the week will be shared in the Homework Classroom every Monday, to be completed by Thursday. All work will appear in the Classwork area of the Classroom. This will consist of:
When your child has finished a part of the homework, click ‘Mark as done’ in the assignment they have completed. If the task is a quiz assignment you can click ‘Submit’ at the bottom of the form. Your child’s teacher will assess the work and provide brief feedback digitally.
Please note that comments are disabled in the Homework Classroom. Teachers will explain the homework and answer any questions in class.
Remote Learning Classroom
This Classroom will only be used in the event of your child’s class being quarantined or if school is forced to close. Tasks will appear in the Classwork area of the Classroom at 9pm the night before they are to be completed. Your child will be asked to complete three tasks per day including literacy and numeracy.
When your child has completed a task click ‘Marked as done’ in the assignment. Your child’s teacher may ask for a photograph of completed work or a Google Doc to be sent as an attachment, or they may use a Quiz Assignment. Your child’s teacher will assess each piece of work and provide brief feedback digitally.
Teachers will be active in the online classroom and may respond to any comments or emails between the hours of 9am-3pm.

If this still doesn't help, please contact your child's teacher.
