COVID-19 Remote Learning Plan
In response to the unprecedented circumstances brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, ̨ž³UUApp has developed a remote learning strategy to ensure your child continues to receive the best possible education. Through our strong ICT network and established systems, we have the opportunity to utilise online tools for communication and educational delivery.
By following our remote learning plan, your child will have access to subject content and teacher instructions for each of their curriculum subjects every day. Our main platforms for remote learning are:
&²Ô²ú²õ±è;•&²Ô²ú²õ±è;&²Ô²ú²õ±è; SEQTA Your child should use SEQTA to find instructions and content for each of their daily lessons. Assessment data will also continue to be updated accordingly by their class teacher.
•&²Ô²ú²õ±è;&²Ô²ú²õ±è; Teams Your child is already part of a Teams channel for each of their curriculum classes. Teams should be used by your child as a communications tool to check in with their teachers each lesson.
•&²Ô²ú²õ±è;&²Ô²ú²õ±è; OneNote It is recommended that your child use OneNote to organise and save work they have completed at home in a class notebook. This may have already been set up by their class teacher.
•&²Ô²ú²õ±è;&²Ô²ú²õ±è; SeeSaw Primary School students can send and receive work for their classes. This will already be setup by the class teacher.

During this time, students can contact their teacher via Teams Video Call or through the Teams Channel Chat feature.
4. First 10 minutes of each class will be a Teams Video Call for your class.
Students should always use earphones during video calls to avoid unnecessary sound feedback.
During this time, teachers will mark attendance and explain the lesson content and activities.

If your class is using OneNote, it recommended that students save completed work in their class notebooks or as directed by the teacher.
