As a school we use the Google Suite for Education to help us in school and out of school. Â After experiencing remote learning before the summer holidays we have all worked hard to embrace new technologies.
We would like to remind children (and parents) that when you are logged onto our school website and using the tools which are available to you that it is solely for school work.
Conversations should be related to school and work which you have been asked to do by your teachers.
It is an amazing tool and should be used with respect.
Here is a link to some You Tube videos which may help when using Google.
Tech Toolkit for Families and GuardiansÂ
As always our school website has advice and links for all technology related issues in the e-safety tab.
Responsible Computer and Internet Use
At Ashley Primary School we use school computers and internet access for learning. The following rules will help us to keep everyone safe when using this technology.
* On the school network, I will only use my own login and password which I will keep a secret at all times.
* I will not look at, or delete other people’s files.
* I will not bring external memory drives or USB Memory Sticks into school without permission and will not use these on school machines.
* I will ask permission before entering any website, unless my teacher has already approved the site.
* When using the school website I will only use my own login and password which I will keep a secret at all times.
* I will only email people I know, or who my teacher has approved sending them appropriate and polite messages.
* I will ask permission before opening an email or an email attachment sent by a person I do not know.
* I will not use internet chat.
* If I see anything I am unhappy with or receive messages I do not like, I will tell a teacher immediately.
* I understand the school may check my computer and email files and may monitor the internet sites I visit.
* I understand that if I deliberately break these rules, I could be stopped from using the internet and computers.
Starting on Tuesday 29th September
Children come into school wearing their sports clothes and suitable footwear.
If your child wears earrings, please remove them each week before they come to school as we are not allowed to take them out.
Thanks!

A massive Ashley thank you goes out to Yvonne and Linda who have made some absolutely gorgeous ‘Worry Monster’ for the children in EYFS and KS1 (I think KS2 will want some when they see them!) I think you’ll agree that they are beautiful and we are all looking forward to using them to help our young people with some of their worries. I imagine a few of us grown-ups could do with a Worry Monster right now! Quite a few teachers are using a wonderful book called ‘The Colour Monster’ by Anna Llenas and our new Worry Monsters will work perfectly with it.
Thanks again ladies, we really do appreciate it.
From Monday 21st September, your child will bring home a sheet of homework on most days. Please could you sit with your child and complete the homework each day (if possible).
Please try to ensure that your child forms the letters correctly by following the arrows.
These sheets can then be kept at home for you and your child to revisit and keep practising regularly.
We would love to see photos of your child doing their homework uploaded onto class dojo!
Thank you,
Mrs Hotchkiss and Miss Golightly x
Could we please remind parents of our start time- 9:10am
and our temporary finish time- 11:50am (For two weeks)
Please try to arrive as close to 9:10am as possible to avoid hanging around in the yard.
Today went very well and all of the children had a great first day!
Thank you so much for your cooperation and understanding at this difficult time.

Please could parents bring a mask to wear during their visits this week.
