SCHOLAR is an online tutorial site you can access directly from your Glow landing page, without needing a separate login.
In S4-6, if the subjects you are studying have resources available, you will have been registered for all of them.
Some departments have requested access for S3 pupils too.
Here is a tutorial video for those of you new to using SCHOLAR.
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
In preparation for our move into Inverurie Community Campus in October 2020, all students and parents/carers were invited to complete an agreement to enable them to "bring their own device" to school i.e. mobile phone/Chromebook/iPad/laptop to facilitiate learning. Class teachers will indicate to students whether a task/activity can be accessed via their own device.
Students should watch Mr O'Connor's video and return the agreement via their Year Group Google Classroom, if they have not already done so.
Connecting Scotland
A number of young peoople have been supported by the Scottish Goverment initiative being managed by the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations (SCVO) to rollout Chromebooks and WiFi dongles to those families with issues accessing IT devices or signal. All families have been surveyed relating to this but please do get in touch with the school office if your circumstances have changed.
