Category: Year 7

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

Information regarding Wednesday 13^th July – Sports Day Field Events (excluding High Jump).

If students are participating in any of the following events below, they will be required to come to school in their PE kit:

• Long Jump
• Triple Jump
• Discus
• Shot Put

They need to come straight to the sandpit area at the start of Period 2.  They don’t need to get their mark as they will be registered at their event.

More information regarding Sports Day Part 2 on Tuesday 19^th July will be sent out next week.

 

If you have confirmed that you are joining us at the Meet-the-Tutor event on Monday, we look forward to seeing you from 5pm on the school field. The weather looks good, so please bring a blanket or deck chair to watch the Concert from 6pm. Feel free to bring a picnic and any refreshments. There will also be a Hog Roast and a Bar.

Parking is always tight so we encourage people to walk if they live near. There will also be space available on the Sixth Form car park.

We look forward to seeing you on Monday!
