Teams Password Problems and How To Guide

Ahead of the autumn parent consultations, and with particular thought to our P1 families and other new starts, here are both some general guides to using teams/365 which we made during the 2 lockdowns, along with a troubleshooting guide to dealing with signing in and password issues.

URGENT UPDATE

The digital learning team have changed the look of their website today (30/09/21). The button you click is now the one circled below not the learner’s login shown in the video.

Troubleshooting Teams Login

Here are some of the most common sign in issues to help with quick trouble shooting.


WONKY FONT ISSUES WITH PASSWORDS The font on the sign in sheet is outside our control and sadly has some confusing type issues.

First up it prints lower case letter L almost exactly the same as a number 1. There are two ways to spot this. Firstly the lower case L has a serif at the top which sticks out straight to the left, a right angle, while the 1 has the slightest of angles downwards.

Another classic issue is the confusion of letter o or O with the number 0.

To help spot these issues please be aware the format of the passwords is 6 letters (always including a single capital) followed by up to 2 numbers. So for example if your 1 is in the first 6 characters it’s actually a lower case L.

EMAIL ISSUES
The default sign in sheets print out an email formatted 12345678@schools.edin.org (or similar). This is out of date for signing into the system but again outside the school’s control. Instead check you are using the format 12345678@ea.edin.sch.uk where needed. We have now got stickers or simple pen crossing out that should have corrected this.


MIXING UP EMAILS AND USERNAMES This is hard to explain in writing but essentially the “username” can either be the email as described above or just the number part. The video linked above should make this clearer.

P2/3 Farmers at Love Gorgie Farm

Primary 2/3 had a fantastic time at Gorgie Farm learning about plants and seeing the garden. We loved learning about flowers, vegetables  and fruits and how to grow them.

 We also enjoyed seeing the turkeys and chickens. Thanks to Seamus and his lovely team for also creating a fantastic game so we could learn the names of flowers and vegetables.  It was great fun!

P4a Love Gorgie Farm

P4a enjoyed their first workshop with LOVE Gorgie Farm where they learnt about the different plants, fruits and vegetables growing on the farm,  They went on a word hunt to help learn names of plants/flowers they hadn’t seen before. There was time to visit the animals and we even got to pet some fuzzy sheep and smooth goats.

Stay up to Date With Dalry Primary

With the increasing return of normality in education opportunities to do even more amazing activities in and out of school will hopefully increase. As they do information and photo reports will be appearing here.

Keep up to date with everything happening here on the Dalry Primary website by checking out the news section, parent information section, and your class page under Our Classes.

There are two great ways to keep up to date.

Follow the school on twitter if you are a user. The link is https://twitter.com/dalry1876

The other is to follow this page by email using the form on the front page.

These are great ways to let distant family members see what is happening and for you to stay up to date with events and achievments.
