Relief Work and Folders:

At the start of the year please set up a relief folder for each of your classes with coloured photos of your students and let a staff member know where this is stored in your workspace.

Please complete your work on Kamar and write clear instructions for the reliever. Please ensure there is more than enough for the students to do and copies of worksheets etc are included or screenshots of what they are working on if on places like google classroom.

On KAMAR please take the following steps: Teachers →Events planner →Planner ….. click on the class, fill in the details and print off.

Place a copy of the relief instructions and any required resources in the filing cabinet in the staffroom. The work will be returned to your pigeon hole.

If you know you are going to be away please place the work in the filing cabinet by 4.30 the day before.

If you are away on the day please put your relief on KAMAR and contact your relief buddy to print this off.
