Home school books and Covid

[Gingenius]

Pre COVID we had a really good system of using home school books for our pupils with SEN for daily communication with parents. We now can’t have them going back wards and forwards because of our risk assessment so are looking for an easy digital solution. Has to be easy for our families and TAs to use: taking time to log on to a desktop whilst also looking after an SEN child isn’t ideal. Any suggestions or experience?

There are all sorts of programmes that Nurseries use. Only one I can think of the name of at the moment is Tapestry, BUT, that seems a pretty drastic solution for one or two children (unless you are in a special school ?).
I'd take another look at the risk assessment, tbh. I can't see that a communication book been touched by one TA / teacher and one parent is going to be at a risk of carrying more germs or a higher risk of the virus than an actual child. This is a vital aide to the child's health, happiness and development. Risk assessments have to weigh up benefit vs risk.

DS's teacher emails me in the afternoon after the children have left for the day (he goes by taxi). If I need to tell her anything I just email.

Thanks for suggestions: we have a few parents using email but need a system really as it’s for. around 40 kids and that’s too many emails for our SEN teachers to manage. We are looking at tapestry but not sure it’d totally meet our needs: we don’t need it for tracking just for home/ school communication that can be done by LSAs

Late to this but how about WhatsApp?
