YR 7 Parent’s Evening Letter
Monday 25th April 2022
Dear Parent/Carer,
RE: Year Parents’ Evening- Thursday 5th & Friday 6th May – Online Video Appointment System (School Cloud)
Year 7 Parents’ Evening will take place on Thursday 5th and Friday 6th May 2022. This will be a virtual parents’ evening, which will allow us to provide face-to-face video meetings with teachers through the online platform SchoolCloud. This is an opportunity for you to speak to staff about your child’s progress over their first year in secondary school. Please note that teachers have the flexibility to be available Thursday 5th and Friday 6th May it is not expected for teachers to be fully available for both days.
Year 7 Parents’ Evening is an important opportunity for you to discuss your child’s progress in each of their subjects with the respective teacher. As this is such an important meeting, your attendance with your child is crucial and we really welcome your support.
As your child has recently completed their subject examinations, it will be an excellent opportunity for you to discuss next steps with your child’s teachers based on their set of results. The school’s SENDCO (Miss A Bell) will be available for appointments. If you wish to speak to them, please note that meeting slots are likely to be limited.
SchoolCloud allows you to choose video appointment times with teachers and you will receive an email confirming each of your appointments. Your email confirmation will contain a link that you will use at your designated time to virtually meet with your child’s teachers.
