Digital skills to support learning

Teams support

At Grangemouth High School we are using Teams within classes, for home learning and to assign homework to pupils.

All pupils should already be linked into their various class teams.

Any problems please let me know gw09dundaspauline@glow.sch.uk and I will get this organised for you.
