I hope you all have a lovely Spring Break and stay safe, happy and healthy!

All Google Classrooms will be “muted” from today until the morning of the 20th of April. (This means no posts or replies can be made as teachers will not be available to moderate them). Assignments can still be accessed and you can continue to upload work completed.

I would like to take this opportunity to commend our amazing staff in Powerstown ETNS. They have all participated in intensive training over the last few weeks to develop their knowledge and understaning of our e-platforms (Google Classrooms, Mangahigh & Reading Eggs). They have worked really hard to overcome many obstacles and to prioritise engaging with our pupils. There has been a huge amount of work going on behind the scenes to plan and prepare our distance-learning activities.

I would also like to thank our pupils, parents and school community for their support over the last 3 weeks. This has been a challenging time for us all and your support of the work of our staff & engaging with us has really motivated us and encouraged us to keep doing our best!

Staff will be back to work as normal on 20th of April with lots of new activities, assignments snd even a few videos!

If you would like some screen-free activities to keep you entertained over the holidays, please check here! We would love to see some photos and videos of you doing the activities.

If you wish to get in touch over the holidays, I will be checking my emails regularly (principal@powerstownet.com)

Stay safe everyone and looking forward to re-connecting with you all on 20th of April.

Helena
