Highfields School
Issue 39: 17 July 2020
Newsletter Parents/carers of current year 6 students Year 6 Transition Programme We would like to take the opportunity to say thank you so much for engaging in our virtual transition process this year. We still remain so disappointed that we have not been able to get to know you all in our usual way over the past few weeks. We do hope that the information we have provided has helped to make you all feel a little more comfortable about making the transition to Highfields in September. We hope that you all have a safe and restful summer break, after what has been an incredibly strange few months for us all. We are very much looking forward to meeting you all on that first day in September. Remember, you will have the whole of lower school to yourself and you will spend the entire day with your form class, getting to know your tutor and new class mates. A letter will be sent to you during the summer to activate your Parentpay account. We would advise you to pay for ‘activity day’ and locker key as soon as possible after this has been activated. Please add money to the school dinners account on 1 September ready for your child’s first day. Again, thank you for your continued support throughout this whole transition process. If you do have any further questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch directly with Mrs Green via email tgreen@highfields.derbyshire.sch.uk as this email address will be monitored once a week. Please do not message the school system with your questions as this will not be monitored in the holidays Please keep an eye on the school website during the holidays in case there is an update on the school response to government guidance. Stay safe everyone and we look forward to seeing you on Wednesday 2 September! Year 7 Team
