Seesaw
Seesaw will be our new school communication Application, it will replace the class pages and will provide an opportunity for students and teachers to share learning with you, it will also be used as a messaging service and will enable parents and teachers to engage in dialogue. We will provide more information in the coming weeks on how parents can use the application.
We are currently introducing it in school and ensuring all staff are familiar with Seesaw, our next step will be to load student profiles on the system this will enable us to communicate directly with parents and provide relevant information. Our target launch date is the end of September for full implementation. As with all new systems, we will experience a few glitches, however the end result will be an enhanced communication system for our school.
Please see the data privacy information in the link below and confirm if you are happy for you and your family to use the application:

Dear Parents,
Next week in IPC we will order events from our lives in chronological order. It would assist us greatly if you could email photos or send hard copies of photographs depicting key moments in your child's life, such as:
first time eating solid food
first holiday
first steps
first day of school
first time swimming/trying gymnastics, etc.
If you have any questions about our IPC unit, please do not hesitate to contact us. Please send the photographs by next Tuesday 19th September.
