Year 9 Parent-Tutor Evening – Thursday 15th July 2021

Dear Parent/Carer,

I am writing to inform you that our Year 9 Parent-Tutor Evening will take place online on Thursday 15th July between 4.00pm and 7.00pm.

This event will allow you to meet your child’s tutor and discuss the academic progress being made by your child and tackle any areas of concern.  Since we are unable to host this evening in school at the moment, we have introduced an easy to use online parents’ evening system called ‘SchoolCloud’ which can be accessed through your web browser on PC or mobile device. This allows you to choose your own appointment time with the tutor and host the video conference appointment on the evening, similar to holding a FaceTime or Zoom conversation.

Appointments can be made from 1:30pm on Thursday 8th July, one week in advance of Parent-Tutor evening and will close on Thursday 15th July at 3:30pm. You will be able to book a single, 7-minute appointment with your child’s tutor.

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.

This appointment will be largely a discussion around your child’s most recent progress report and DOYA judgements, which will be available on the SIMS parent app after 1pm on Wednesday 14th July.

If you have any queries about the arrangements for this parent-tutor evening, please do not hesitate to contact us at the academy.

Yours sincerely,

Ms R Allchurch

Year 9 Raising Standards Leader
