HELPFUL CHECKLIST FOR PARENTS TO SUPPORT STUDENTS ON MICROSOFT TEAMS
If possible, print off a copy of your child’s timetable, and put it somewhere that it is easy for you to access e.g. on the fridge, or create a list of all subjects your son/daughter is doing.
If your child is having access or password issues please contact the school via info@oaklandscc.ie asking for a password reset.
Check to see if they are a member of a Team for each of their subjects (for some classes such as PE, SPHE they may not use a Team so check this with your child). Students have been set up since August so this should be in place.
If your child is missing from a Team please ask your child to message their teacher to make sure that they will be enrolled to the Team.
- Check the POSTS section on each class Team for class information about live lessons or work to be completed during the day.
- Check the ASSIGNMENTS section on each class Team for new assignments and note the due TIME corresponding to each assignment.
It would be good practice to ensure your child writes this in their homework journal as you can easily check that they are completing them by their due date.
Check to see that the work is completed and “turned in” but the due date and then you can tick off Assignment in Journal.
Inform the school by contacting the Office or Year Head, if your child is unwell and not able to engage with the work/assignments (or if you are unable to access the work due to technical difficulties).
