Rift House Primary School
REMOTE LEARNING
The priority should always be for schools to deliver high-quality face-to-face education to all pupils. Remote education should only ever be considered as a short-term measure and as a last resort where in person attendance is not possible.
We will use the TEAMS platform for remote learning. Children are familiar with this program so they are able to access it from home. Our policy when joining in with lessons remotely HERE.
Acceptable User Policy - TEAMS
In addition, we are continuing to use SEESAW for parents and children to communicate with their class teacher(s) and to complete homework on.
SEESAW INFORMATION
For any information on how to connect to either of these platforms, please ask class teachers.
