Parents’ Evening

Parents’ Evenings
So far we have had 300 parents’ appointments made. If you haven’t yet tried to log on to the new system, please can you do so today or tomorrow. There have been a few technical issues, which have now be resolved, but we were only made aware when some parents struggled to log in. Please speak to your child’s class teacher if you are unable to book an appointment on the system. The booking system closes on Friday 4th November at lunchtime. Many thanks.

A message from Mrs Poole our SENDCO:

If you child has Special Educational Needs (SEND) and you would like to discuss the support that they are getting in school further with me, then please let your child’s class teacher know and I will do my best to attend their Parents’ Evening appointment alongside their teacher. When using the online booking system, please add a note to notify us that you would like me to attend or alternatively, you can email me on: newdalesendco@taw.org.uk. I am available on the following days and times: Monday 7th November (3.20-6pm), Tuesday 8th November (3.20-4.30pm) and Thursday 9th November (3.20-5.30pm). Appointments will be made on a first come, first served basis and if I am unable to make a time that suits you and your child’s class teacher, I will arrange to call you at another time. Regards, Mrs Poole
