Dear Parents,

Going forward during this period of crisis (Grades 1 - 5)

It is indeed a difficult time for everyone and our focus is on keeping everyone safe while supporting students with their studies.

I know some teachers have already sent study material through WhatsApp. However, since we do have introduced the Learner Management System (LMS) to our teachers, we have decided to change our strategy. The LMS, once completed, will be an interactive platform for the students and teachers to work on.

After the initial hasty submission of study packs, we have, by now, streamlined the progression and have organized to send the weekly work schedule through the LMS. Musaeus College was in the process of finalizing the training for our teachers. Unfortunately, the training was not completed but we were able to complete the training of a team of Master Teachers who will at this time, assist the subject teachers in the use of the LMS. Because of this, please note that in some instances, we will not be able to give the students the full benefit of the LMS initially.

It is possible that some teachers may have already sent the uploaded material to you via WhatsApp. You could get your daughter to do some revision on such instances. I assure you such issues would be ironed out by next week.

I kindly request the parents to set up a time schedule and organize to spread the work from Monday to Friday. The study packs be based on a daily lesson plan.

What is the LMS and how can your daughter access it?

We are glad to inform you that the School Management has implemented the Learning Management System (LMS) to enhance the teaching- learning process. This LMS improves the learner engagement and supports the productivity of the users’ learning and the teaching process.

All study packs will be shared through the School LMS in the future.

Time line to sign in to the LMS

If all the students try to sign in at the same time, there will be a breakdown of the system. Therefore, it is extremely important for the different groups of Grades to sign in at the following times or do so after Wednesday, 25^th.

Steps to Follow

The profiles of all the students have been created in the LMS. In order to access their profiles, please follow the simple steps and instructions given below.

Problem solving

For any issue with login, send an email to help@musaeus.edu.lk OR  WhatsApp : 0764554592 (WhatsApp Massages only) with Student admission number. For more details go through the video link pasted here https://bit.ly/Headstart_LMS

Carrying on:

A few more messages regarding how to return the completed work and improvements of the LMS will be informed.

The LMS provider will soon be conducting an online training session for all the teachers and will introduce the system where the student can respond through the LMS itself.

Just like last year, 2020 has also started off as a highly disturbing year and we are trying to ensure our students are given the best possible guidance and support. It is important that you appreciate that though school premises are closed, we are trying our best to keep the school to remain open as a learning school community. Students should not be thinking this is an extended holiday.

Together we can ensure that our students are not disadvantaged during this difficult time.

Best regards,

Dear Parents,

Going forward during this period of crisis (Grades 6 – 13)

It is indeed a difficult time for everyone and our focus is on keeping everyone safe while supporting students with their studies. (There will be a separate message for the Primary Section – Grades 1-5)

I apologize for the initial confusion some Grades faced when they received either large volumes of content or unedited versions of study material. This may have been caused by the over-enthusiasm of some teachers who wanted to see that their students who were about to face their end of term tests would not miss the balance syllabus that was then not completed.

I have, since then, streamlined the progression and have organized to send the weekly work schedule through the Learner Management System (LMS) for which we were in the process of finalizing the training for our teachers. Unfortunately, the training was not completed but we were able to complete the training of a team of Master Teachers who will at this time, assist the subject teachers in the use of the LMS. Because of this, please note that in some instances, we will not be able to give the students the full benefit of the LMS initially. As some teachers are yet to grasp the Sinhala typing, some subjects will be uploaded later.

It is possible that some teachers may have already sent the uploaded material to you via WhatsApp. You could get your daughter to do some revision on such instances. I assure you such issues would be ironed out by next week.

I kindly request the parents to set up a time schedule and organize to spread the work from Monday to Friday.

"My daughters, go forward to your great destiny, go forward with courage; love your nation; love your native land; love your religion; honour your ancient costumes and culture; wear your national costume; do not falter by the way in your life´s mission; educate yourselves".
