USING OFFICE 365 AND MS TEAMS FOR TODAY'S LIVE LESSONS
A reminder that, today and tomorrow, pupils will be accessing their lessons from home due to a broken heating system in college.
In order to access their live lessons, they can click on the Teams link which should be viewable within a SMHW/Satchel One Task their teacher has set them, or directly from their own Teams calendar. A reminder of how to access Teams (Office 365) is detailed below.

Unfortunately, due to the work being carried out in college today, we have limited access to telephone lines.
