Year 9 Parents’ Evening – Thursday 9th February 2023
Dear Parent/Carer,
I am writing to inform you that our Year 9 Parents Evening will take place on Thursday 9th February between 4:15pm and 7:15pm.
Parents Evening will be in person, but we will continue to use our online parents’ evening system called ‘SchoolCloud’ to book appointments, which can be accessed through your web browser on PC or mobile devices. You will be able to book appointments from 9am on Monday 30th January until 3:30pm on Thursday 9th February. Please see the information overleaf which explains how to book an appointment.
Where teachers have multiple classes, appointment booking may be limited. However, you will receive a “Progress Report”, which will give you an overview of your child’s progress in each subject, as well as their overall attendance, Independent Study completion and conduct. Teachers will initially be inviting parents to discuss their child’s progress if there is a cause for concern, or if the teacher wishes to discuss their subject as one of their KS4 options. You can also contact your child’s College Leader if you are unable to book an appointment and have any concerns. Our Inclusion Team and College Leaders will be in the Academy during the evening but you will not be able to book appointments with them.
In addition to the usual teacher appointments, there will be regular talks on green steps to discuss our options process, focusing on supporting you and your child this year to enable them to make the best choices for Key Stage 4. Students will receive their option booklets on Google Classroom next week during assembly. This booklet has lots of information about the courses we offer and is also available on our school website. It would be really helpful if you could talk to your child before the evening about which subjects they enjoy, which ones they are making the most progress in and what they would like to go on to study when they leave Hans Price Academy.
If you have any queries about the arrangements for this parent-tutor evening, please do not hesitate to contact us at the academy.
How to book an appointment
Once you have received a text message, please visit https://hanspriceacademy.schoolcloud.co.uk/ to book your appointment.
There is a video parent guide to the School Cloud system, available here.
You will need to log in with the following information:
- Your name & contact email
- Your child’s name & date of birth
All of these details will need to match the details we have for you and your child in our Data Management system (SIMS), so if your login fails in the first instance, please check your SIMS Parent App contact details section. Initial login difficulties are usually limited to those associated with legal names and preferred names (for example, Eleanor versus Ellie).
If you do not have the SIMS parent app, please email [email protected] to request an activation code. By registering for the app, you will also be able to view your child’s latest progress report, as well as make any changes to your data such as updating your contact details, or any medical / dietary needs for your child.
Yours sincerely,
Carlo Hooper
Year 9 Raising Standards Leader
