The Year 7 Parents’ Evening will be taking place on Thursday 8^th December. Our Parents’ Evening will be online, using the School Cloud platform. You will need to register and book your appointments by logging into SchoolCloud – Lymm High School.  I have also attached a guide here for your support.

You will be able to book a 4–minute appointment with teaching staff between the times of 4:30pm and 7:30pm. The booking system will open at 7am on Wednesday 30^th November 2022. On the evening you will access your video appointments by logging into School Cloud as above. At the time of your meetings, you will be prompted to ‘join the meeting’. All appointments will last a maximum of 4 minutes, there will be a timer displayed within the meeting so you will know when it ends. The video link will close when the
4 minutes is up.

It is recommended that you log-on in advance of your first appointment to check that you can access the School Cloud. If you need any technical support, please contact IThelpdesk@lymmhigh.org.uk.

If your child has more than one teacher for a subject only one of the teachers will be available on the evening. Some teachers may have a high number of Year 7 classes; because of this, they may not be able to see all parents or may not be able to answer all of your questions in the allocated time. If there is a teacher that you cannot get an appointment with, but would like to speak to, then please contact them via their school email address.

Dear Parent and Carer,

I am writing to inform you about a change to Lymm High’s PE kit policy. As you are aware, all students that need to be excused from a PE lesson need to have an explanatory letter from their parent/carer. They also need to still get changed into their PE kit to undertake other roles where possible (e.g. leader or official).

From Monday 26^th September, if students do not have their PE kits with them, they will need to wear one of our spare, clean kits.

Students have been made aware of this new requirement. We would appreciate your support in reminding your child to always bring their PE kit in to their lessons.

Yours sincerely,

Mr J Kerwin
Head of PE & Sport

Dear Parents/Carers of Year 7,

As you may already be aware, as a school we use the online platform ‘Show my Homework/Satchel one’ to record weekly homework tasks for students. Via this platform, all homework set is viewable by students on a phone, tablet or laptop, alongside a timeline of deadlines to help them successfully manage their independent work and build positive learning habits. A student account can also be linked to parent accounts to allow you to support your child’s homework organisation.

While the majority of Year 7 students have been able to activate their accounts and log in, it appears some students do not know their high school email address, which is halting the log-in process.

For information, all student email addresses follow the format below:

‘Year of entry+first initial+surname’@lymmhigh.org.uk 

So for instance, a Year 7 student in this September’s intake, named Joe Bloggs would have the address: 22jbloggs@Lymmhigh.org.uk

Students will have set their own email passwords in IT lessons, and will have been sent a password reset email to allow them to log in to satchel one. Email is accessible via the school website.

If you are still having any difficulties logging in, please feel free to contact me at Smulholland@lymmhigh.org.uk and I can provide log-in PINS for parents and students.

Kind regards,
Miss Mulholland

Dear parents/carers,

I hope that you have all enjoyed a restful summer break. We are delighted to be welcoming our new Year 7 students and are supporting them whilst they settle into high school.

We understand that the transition to high school can feel somewhat daunting for both students and their parents/carers. We want a positive start by ensuring that both parents and students feel informed and prepared for the year to come.

With this in mind, we would like to invite parents and carers to our Meet the Tutor evening which will be held in school on Tuesday 27^th September. We ask that students do not attend the evening as the information provided will be primarily aimed at parents and carers.

So that tutors have a chance to talk to as many parents as possible we are splitting the evening into two sessions.

• 5.00pm – 5.45pm Surname A-J
• 6.00pm – 6.45pm Surname K-Z

If you cannot attend your session time but would like to come to the other session, please email to let me know: nbeck@lymmhigh.org.uk

If possible, we would like to encourage any parents/carers to attend the evening on foot. However, we will have parking available. Please do exercise caution when parking to ensure that cars are not blocked in.

We look forward to seeing you.

Yours sincerely,

Miss N Beck
Head of Year 7
