Year 10 Parents Evening 4th March

22 February 2021

Dear Parent / Guardian

Year 10 Parents’ Evening - Online Appointment Booking

I would like to invite you to attend our Virtual Parents’ Evening for the parents of pupils on Thursday 4^th March 2021. The purpose is to enable you to discuss your son's/daughter's progress with their class teachers.

Parents’ evenings are now managed and administered via our online parents evening system:

hillsidehigh.schoolcloud.co.uk

This allows parents to choose and book their own appointments, subject to availability. The system also provides a video appointment facility. For the foreseeable future and for the safety of all concerned, Hillside High School’s parents’ evenings will be held online, with staff, parents and pupils meeting via remote video appointment.

Please note the following important information and instruction steps:

• Appointments may be booked between 9.00am on Friday 26^th February 2021 and 9.00am on Thursday 4^th March.
• Please be aware there will be no access to the website until Friday 26^th February 2021 and after 9.00am on Thursday 4^th March, only access to view, capture or print your appointments.
• Appointment times are between 4.15pm and 6.45pm on Thursday 4^th March 2021
• Guides on ‘Making appointments’ are included as PDF attachments with this letter. Links to the guides and video guides will also be made available on the school website.
• Appointments are strictly limited to 5 minutes and will cut off as soon as this time limit is reached so please ensure you have any questions for staff ready.

• Logins should be applied with the following information:
• The system uses ‘priority 1’ parent name stored on the school system, therefore, you may need to try either your name or your partner’s name.
• Parent email as stored on school system
• Student’s First Full Name, again as stored on the school system
• Student’s Surname
• Date of Birth e.g. 26/11/2000

If you have any issues with accessing the system then please call the school office on 0151 525 2630.

As you can appreciate, the move to parents’ evenings to online video appointments is a major change for all concerned. Your patience and forbearance while this new method of operation beds down would be much appreciated. After the event, please let us know if you have any feedback about the system.

Staff look forward to you joining them online, via video on 4^th March.

Yours sincerely,

Miss Banks,

Year 10 Progress Leader
