Teacher Twitter Accounts
Our staff team have been getting individual twitter accounts set up to have another channel of communication with the children and families throughout the school closure.
You will find anything they think useful from videos to tips and extra info on the home learning.
While you can ask general questions about the home learning on these channels anything personal to your families or complex and specific should still be sent to the school admin email inbox as usual to be dealt with in more than 280 characters.
Also please note that while management have added an account for them this is very much a broadcast channel and way to support the teacher channels. It is not for parent enquiries. If it is of a nature that involves talking to management it is still best done via email.
Please be aware this is new tech for some of our teachers who may not even have sent a first tweet.
