Availability of Devices for Home Learning
In the event of a school closure, would your daughter have access to an internet-enabled device, which would allow her to continue her learning at home?
If the answer to the above question is NO, please email deviceinfo@ourladysgns.ie with your daughter's (i) full name; (ii) class; (iii) class teacher's name before Friday 4th September. Many thanks for your cooperation.
Teachers' New Email Addresses
We upgraded our email system over the summer and the new contact details for all of our teachers are listed here. The email addresses that we used during the last academic year will no longer be monitored, so please take note of the updated contact details. For general school queries please continue to use info@ourladysgns.ie. Once again, many thanks for your cooperation.
Seesaw
This year our school is going to begin using Seesaw (http://seesaw.me), a secure online journal where students can document and reflect on what they are learning in class. Your child will be able to add the things we work on (including photos, videos, worksheets, drawings and voice recordings) to their Seesaw journal and we can share them privately with you and other family members to view and comment on throughout the school year. Your class teacher will email you a Seesaw Consent Letter this week - please read this carefully, complete the section at the bottom of the letter and return by email to your class teacher. We will be in touch soon with further information about how we are going to use Seesaw to support your child's learning this academic year.
