Using the @ to tag someone in Microsoft Teams

Hi everyone, just a reminder to tag a teacher if you are asking any questions in Microsoft Teams. S2 pupils are asking great questions and showing they're really trying hard to complete the work set. Most of you are tagging one of us, but we don't want to miss any questions. If you haven't had an answer to a question, please repost and tag one of us. To use a tag, use the @ symbol and then key in the teachers full name. 

If you don't know a teachers full name, you can always access the Gracemount High School Staff List here - it includes their full name.  

Take care and stay safe!

Mr Whyte
