St. Pat's BNS Home School Hub
St. Patrick's BNS, Castlebar
Dear Parents / Guardians,
The current school year has placed different demands on the school community. We endeavour to maintain a consistent manner of supporting all pupils. Communicating and teaching through online platforms has become a key element of school life and an important tool in linking school and home.
Our Home School Hub provides links to the online platforms and programmes in use across the school. Classes from Junior Infants to 2nd Class are using SeeSaw & Classes from 3rd to 6th are using Google Classroom to communicate with their teacher during the lockdown. During the lockdown classwork will be posted on these platforms and it will also be linked on this site.
We recognise that accessing online content places different demands on families. For this reason we have put together a booklet on Guidelines for Distance Learning with step by step instructions for each of the platforms in use.
Best Regards,
The Principal & Staff of St. Patrick's BNS
