In the event of the implementation of Learning at Home, Kindergarten to Year 4 students will access their learning via the Seesaw platform. Room 14 will continue to use Seesaw. Students in Rooms 11 and 12 will continue to operate through Connect and Office 365. Class live lessons will be delivered using Microsoft Teams from the Office 365 suite.
If you require additional iPads for your family to access the Learning at Home program, please see the section above on, ‘Loaned iPads’.
Weekly Overview
A weekly overview will be provided for students. This will be sent out on a Friday in preparation for the following week.
The weekly overview will contain tasks from English, Maths, Specialists and Integrated studies. These have been chosen by the classroom teacher as the most important learning activities to complete within the week. Teachers will provide specific, individual feedback about these learning tasks.
We understand Learning from Home is complex, and we encourage parents to prioritise English and mathematics tasks over others. The completion of other tasks is encouraged but will depend on individual families.
Daily Routine
A consistent daily routine will be used across the school from Kindergarten to Year 6. The suggested sequence may include:
- Morning Message/Greeting using Microsoft Teams
- Morning engagement activity
- English activity
- Break
- Maths activity
- Break
- Integrated studies activity and specialist subject activity according to the timetable
Kindergarten
The Kindergarten program will be flexibly tailored to the needs of the family and the Kindergarten Curriculum.

How to communicate with your child’s teacher
All parent communication with the classroom teacher needs to be through email or connect only.
Teachers aim to reply to communication within school hours. The Seesaw platform is used specifically for student and teacher interactions.
Support Programs
Our support staff play an incredibly important role in the connection our students experience. Our learning support teacher, education assistants, school psychologist and chaplain are able to engage with students in the event of a long-term closure through Microsoft Teams.
If you have any immediate concerns, please email Jolimont.ps@education.wa.edu.au so that we can work with and support your family.
