RVHS Parent Bulletin Aspiration Respect
Endeavour
Week ending: Friday 8th September 2017 “Education is the most powerful weapon, which you can use to change the world”. Nelson Mandela
Message from the Head of School. It has been a really positive start to the new academic year. It has been busy in school, expectations are high and students are working really hard. There is a very purposeful vibe in the school. Last night was our Year 10 Information evening which was well attended and the feedback from parents was that it was very useful. Information was shared to enable parents/carers to support their sons/daughters learning as they work towards their challenging 9-1 GCSEs. Each subject provided an overview of ways to support their child including essential reading, highlighting appropriate trips and visits and additional challenge. Our focus was on the wellbeing of the individual student and Mr. Cheema provided useful guidance for parents on some key safeguarding issues effecting teenagers today such as Sexting. Miss Dyer discussed the importance of establishing routines with teenagers to enable them to make the best progress. Mr. Price (the new Year Progress Leader) was also introduced at the meeting. Information has been emailed to all Year 10 parents and is available on the School website. Please note that next Thursday 21st September is the Year 8 Information evening at 5pm and there is also a Year 12 Information Evening starting at 6.30pm. Attached in this email is the School Calendar, we do however have a ‘live’ version which can be found on the front page of the school website. All correspondence is now sent out by email and I hope that many of you have now downloaded the MyEd app which will streamline communication with the school. Instructions are again included in the bulletin and all queries please refer to Mr. Mammen. We have experienced a few teething problems with ‘Show My Homework’ but these were outside of our control. The external server is back up and hopefully normal service resumed. Parents do need a pin code to access their sons/ daughter’s specific record but even if you don’t have it you can still access ‘Show my Homework’ directly from the school website and interrogate all the work set across the school. Students do not need a pin and can access ‘Show My Homework’ using their school gmail account.
