| My Question | Comment | Suggestion related to the school this week is: | HT’s Response |
| A query regarding Google Guardian – there have been a number of instances where I have received notification in Google Guardian that my daughter has ‘Missing’ work; class work or home work not submitted. When I follow this up with her she tells me that either the deadline has changed or the work is no longer required to be submitted. I have no reason to doubt that this is the case but I’m wondering if it’s possible for teachers to amend or withdraw deadlines for work if they do change so that parents are not getting incorrect notifications or is it just an aspect of the system that we have to accept. Overall, I find the Google Guardian system very useful. | First of all, thank-you. That is exactly how we hope parents/carers ‘use’ Google Guardian. The follow-up conversations keep the home/school learning connection ‘live’.
At the same time I see as a parent that it’s also difficult when the context you describe arises. As we move to a change of timetable we’ll remind teachers about how they set-up their classrooms as they’ll have a whole set of new classes. The key feature based on your feedback being only set a calendar deadline if it’s homework or an assignment, not routine classwork. This is often why things you describe happen. That should prevent the issue you describe. |
