Introduction Prerequisites In order to access the SLG Parent site, you need a reliable, fast Internet connection (basic broadband is sufficient). Please check the following table to make sure that your Internet browser is compatible:
Internet Browser PC MAC Internet Explorer 7.x Internet Explorer 6.x Mozilla Firefox 3.x Mozilla Firefox 2.x Safari 3.x Safari 2.x
Security Because the data stored and exchanged by our school is highly sensitive, security is a priority. It is your responsibility to ensure that your username and password are kept private. Whilst the software has been designed to prevent access to highly personal pupil information, it remains important that access to the site is restricted. If the option is available, do not select the Remember my password check box when logging into the site as this allows anyone with access to your computer to login to the site. Always log out of the website when you are not using it, otherwise you are leaving it open to use by unauthorised people. If you have requested an SLG account for your child/children you have agreed at the point of registration through the SLG Usage Policy to take responsibility for the security of the information held by the school when accessed by your child/children.
Support For SLG support please email slg@connaught.hants.sch.uk using your email account provided to us at the point of your SLG registration. For security reasons only this account will be responded to if the nature of the email contains confidential information. Please explore the SLG site. We would welcome your feedback so as to improve the facility.

Your password must: • Be at least 7 characters long • Have at least one CAPITAL LETTER • Have at least one lower case letter • Have at least one number.
