Dear Fair Oak Family
Thank you to those that have signed up to join us for Parents in Partnership. There is still time and availability in the meetings to sign up. Please email in to the school office telling us which session you wish to attend. Zoom links will be sent out on Friday.
Please can we remind all parents that are completing remote learning with their children to complete the survey monkey link that was sent out on Monday. This feedback will be used to celebrate successes as well as make improvements where necessary and we would be grateful for your help with this.
As mentioned in Monday’s Oak Bites we will be transitioning to a new remote learning platform - Microsoft TEAMS. Please read the attached letter regarding how and when this change will take place. It also highlights some of the benefits and also how help will be provided to support this change.
Whilst talking about technology, you may be aware that we have received some laptops from the Department for Education to assist our children with their home learning. We have also had some donations of surplus laptops and tablets from members of the community. If you are struggling with the number of devices in your house compared to the number of children you have, please do get in touch, and we’ll see if we are able to help. Please email adminoffice@faioak-jun.hants.sch.uk . Each case will be considered separately and we will be in touch.
We have been notified by Tucasi - who administer our online payments and communications system, that they have been subject to an information security incident. An unauthorised user has downloaded a list of SMS messages sent by our school between 1st Dec 2020 and 8th Jan 2021 and the data items that they will have had access to are the recipient phone numbers and the message text. No other data has been breached. Tucasi have taken the necessary action to prevent any further issues and have reported the matter to the Information Commissioner’s Office. If you received a text from us during this period (we don’t send many – just dinner money payment reminders and some attendance checks), they ask that you will be extra vigilant if you receive any texts purporting to be from us.
Please see attached a newsletter produced by the Road Safety Team.
