INSTRUCTIONS FOR STUDENTS
Learning from home
Assalaamualikum,
Please read though the step by step instruction to help you access the online portal for your home learning. Whilst I am aware of certain difficulties, please you try and maintain your current timetable at home. Your teachers will be available through the online portal during your subject session and after if needed.
I would like to encourage you all to remain calm and ready for any changes that we may need to make as a school, to ensure that your learning is not significantly impacted. The work and resources in the online portal will allow you to:
- Revisit topics you have covered in the past.
- Build on what you currently know.
- Stretch your knowledge and understanding of difficult topics.
It is important that you apply maximum effort to all areas of your studies, so that you are able to make the most of your independent learning. Don’t worry if you find some of the work difficult, your teachers are available and are more than happy to offer additional support.
Rest, drink plenty of water and eat lots of fruit and veg. If you feel unwell read the current advice from the NHS and follow it carefully.
I have enclosed the email addresses of all your teachers.
How to access my work:
There are full instructions for how you can access the Office 365 from home. Follow those instructions. If for any reason you can’t access it just send an email to s.begum@madani.org.uk.
Walaikum Salaam,
Sumaya Begum
