Sample Letter to Parents (about SAM
Learning)
Dear Parent/Guardian,
Online Learning at
www.samlearning.com
As you know, we are continuously evaluating ways to raise the
achievements of our Learners. I’m pleased to announce that the school has
recently subscribed to SAM Learning, a top quality eLearning service that
has been proven to improve SATs levels through SATs practice and related
work.
One of the key features of this service is that it can be accessed
from virtually any computer with Internet access – and other schools who
use it report significant usage outside the core school day. SAM Learning
usually costs home users £99.99 per year, but our Learners now have
unrestricted use of this service totally free of charge.
If you have a computer with Internet access at home, I hope you will
allow it to be used to access this service, but if that is not possible, we
will be making arrangements for access to computer time in school outside
timetabled Task Hours, so that no-one is at a disadvantage. Of course, it
is also possible that Learners may use SAM Learning from computers in other
places such as libraries and community centres.
I realise you may have concerns about
youngsters using the Internet, and may wish to establish your own family
rules about where and when this is to be done.
To access the service at www.samlearning.com, Learners need three
details:
|
Centre ID:
|
<enter your Centre ID here>
|
|
User ID:
|
Date of birth followed by two initials; first name then last name.
Example: 010896DJ is the User ID for David Jones born 1st
Aug 1996.
|
|
Password:
|
Initially same as User ID, Learners are encouraged to change this
to something difficult to guess or work out.
|
Everyone should have a record of this information in their homework
book.
All our Learners who will be using the service will be shown how everything
works – you may want to ask them to show you in turn, especially the area
that reports on their progress and shows their marks!
We do hope that you will take full advantage of this service and
thank you in anticipation of your support for this initiative.
Yours faithfully
<Your Name>
<Position at School>
