As we draw an end to our first week in lockdown, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on our community.
The nature of the lockdown means that we feel more isolated than we ordinarily are and that will affect us all in very different ways. During this time, it is important to remember that you are still an important part of the Thomas Hassall Community. If you need help, please reach out and ask for it - do get in contact with your child's teacher by email or call the College and they will get the message through.
One way that we will be connecting with students is through Zoom. Some classes have started zoom today and the majority will begin next week. These sessions are a time when students can say hello to their teachers and receive feedback from them about their work. I know that teachers are working hard setting and marking work, as well as giving some feedback where possible. It is important that your child follows the guidelines that have been set out to ensure it remains a safe and useful tool for students and staff. View the Using Zoom video below and also read through the guidelines sent to you via the College App and email this afternoon.
I am very encouraged hearing from the teachers how well students have adapted to learning online and I know we couldn't do it without your support and assistance. We look forward to continuing this journey with you. Please send through some images of your child's learning at home that we might be able to share with the community. Send them to [email protected]
Enjoy a well deserved break this weekend and let's get ready for another exciting week of learning.
