Our School Communications Portal (Firefly) is about to undergo an important upgrade (Tuesday 6th October) which will ultimately provide more data to you about your child. Some of the items you will be able to start seeing are:
-Timetable
-Merits awarded
-Attendance
-Tasks set by teachers
-Grades
-Feedback from teachers about work that has been set.
I would like to invite all parents to a Firefly Workshop where I will cover a new login system, and how to access existing and new features. This will also be an opportunity for me to introduce a new E-Safety Advice section for parents and for you to ask me any questions you may have and also troubleshoot any technical issues.
Firefly Workshop
When: Wednesday 7th October
Time: 8.45am or 2.30pm
Where: School Canteen
I will be running two identical workshops in case some parents can only attend in the morning (8.45) or afternoon (2.30).
Although not essential parents may find the workshop more beneficial if they have a mobile device capable of accessing the Internet available to them so they can follow the Firefly walkthrough themselves.
I hope you will be able to attend one of these sessions as you will have an invaluable chance to learn more about Firefly and get hands on help if you need it.
Please feel free to contact me about these workshops or anything else regarding Firefly.
Best regards
