๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ซ Parents' Meetings Update
Mr J Sharp
We have been thinking very hard about managing Parentsโ Meetings this year so that they are in line with our COVID-19 risk assessment and that they also provide families with important updates on the progress of their children.
For the meetings in November, we have decided the following:
The meetings will be held by phone call. The teacher will call families using the number on Arbor (the system we use to hold details about all children and families) from a school device. Please make sure we have up-to-date contact details.
The meetings will be up to 10 minutes long. Please ensure you are available at the time booked and also try and help us to keep to the strict 10 minute time limit.
Appointments are to be booked through Parent Portal and will be live from Tuesday 3rd November at 9:00am (no bookings can be made before this time). You should already be able to see the appointment schedule (Guardian Consultations) in Parent Portal, but they are not yet live.
Teachers will send attainment levels, targets and any other information they wish to share before the meetings so that families have the opportunity to digest it and think of questions if they wish to. This information will be sent by email, or through Google Classroom if needed.
If there is anything specific you wish to ask, then it may save time if you contact the class teacher using the class email account (please see the class pages for the class contact details) before the meeting.
Obviously, it will save the teacherโs precious time if all meetings are held on the day timetabled. However, if you really are unavailable, then you can arrange a phone meeting with a teacher at another time.
At the present time we have 63% of children with a parent/carer signed in to Parent Portal. We need to ensure that all families are signed up so that everyone can make Parentsโ Meetings bookings. If anyone needs support setting up Parent Portal, please contact Mrs. Mason in the school office and she will be able to help. If you have any other concerns, worries or questions then please get in touch by email or speak to me or Mrs. Flatman on the playgrounds.
We know that we are living in uncertain times and that these plans may need to change, so thank you for your ongoing patience, understanding and support.
