Unfortunately, due to ongoing covid restriction it is not possible for the upcoming S5/6 Parent’s Evening, scheduled for the 10th of November, to take place in the school building. However due to the importance of the event taking place we are proposing that the meeting will now happen online via our “Parents Evening Booking + Video” meeting system.
This will be the first time we have used this online system and while we realise that this is different to your past experiences of meeting your children’s teachers in person we hope that it will be just as informative and beneficial in allowing you to further support your children with their education at Cumbernauld Academy.
With regards preparing for the meeting parents I have attached a link inviting S5/6 parents/carers along and detailing the timeline for booking and attending. Please click on the link below.

I have also placed a link to a step by step guide and to a short video that give instructions on how to access the online system, book time slots and meet with staff via the digital platform on the night. These links can be accessed below.
