Find out what to expect on Home-Based Learning days, including how to complete your assignments on SLS and Microsoft Teams, and who to contact for help.
Dear Students,
Understanding Your Home-Based Learning (HBL) Assignments
On HBL days, all students will have assignments to complete. Here's a simple guide to what to expect:
What Subjects Will Have Assignments?
Primary 1 & 2: You will have assignments for English, Math, and Mother Tongue.
Primary 3, 4 & 5: You will have assignments for English, Math, Science, and Mother Tongue.
Types of Assignments:
For each subject, there will be at least one assignment on the SLS (Student Learning Space) platform. Some teachers might also give you extra assignments that you do offline, like worksheets or composition writing.
Completing Your Assignments:
You usually have one week to finish your HBL assignments. However, the school strongly encourages you to complete all your assignments on the actual HBL day itself. If you attend student care at school, you should complete your HBL assignments using the devices provided there. If you have any problems or questions about your assignments, you can ask your teachers on the next school day.
Important Reminders for SLS:
SLS Password Reset: If you forget your SLS password, you can ask your subject teacher for help, or click "Forget Password" on the SLS login page.
Check Your SLS Access: Please make sure you can log into SLS and know your username and password before Monday, 4th August.
Avoid Lockouts: Be careful not to try logging in incorrectly too many times, as this can lock you out of your account.
If You Get Locked Out: If your SLS account gets locked during HBL, please send an email to the school with your full name and class so they can help you.
