Cessation of SatchelOne service

Back in July we wrote to parents and carers to inform of our intention to decommission and remove the SatchelOne service. As planned, work will begin this week to remove the service and associated data.

Our intention remains to replace our current suite of applications with a more streamlined and versatile solution. SatchelOne’s function within our school has very much been replaced by Microsoft Teams, and the StachelOne app is now only providing Parents and Carers with visibility of Microsoft Teams assignments.

In January we wrote to Parents and Carers to inform of a development partnership with Microsoft (beta testing) on their School Connection product. The School Connection app in Microsoft Teams empowers parents and guardians to engage, support, and monitor their student's learning at school.  As a parent, you can stay up to date on:

• Assignments: upcoming, overdue, or recently completed
• Assignment feedback, grades, or rubric feedback
• Insights from the past month on digital activity, assignment turn-ins, and reading progress.

Many of our Parents and Carers have access to School Connection and we have received some very positive feedback. As such this will replace SatchelOne.

If you do not have access to School Connection and wish to have visibility of assignments set for your child/children please raise a support case with us – support@hernebayhigh.org more information about School Connection and how to setup can be found here
