Please find attached a copy of the presentation from last week’s Sharing the Learning afternoon on the launch of Learning Journals. We have now activated the Parents Contributions, which will allow you to upload any wider achievements for your child/children, which we can then share at our Achievement Assemblies.
If you are experiencing any issues with your child/children’s learning journals, please contact the school.
All pupil’s main contacts should have received an email from Learning Journals today asking you to log into or reset your login password to access the ParentZone.
Please contact the school office if you have not received this email and we can arrange for this to be resent.
More information on the Learning Journals ParentZone will be given today at the Sharing the Learning Event commencing in the school at 2pm.
Thank you
