EDULINK

Homework, achivment points, detentions, the timetable ... Edulink is a source of as lot of useful information. Please also look at the specific webpage advising parents how to download the app and create your own log on. https://sites.google.com/arden.solihull.sch.uk/year-7-transition-website/edulink 

If your child is struggling to log on they need to:

1. Use "Arden" as the school name

2. Use their school log on in the form 23smithw (for year, surname, initial - for new student Will Smith joining in 2023)

3. Use the password they created and wrote into thier planner when they first logged onto a school computer

GOOGLE CLASSROOM

Most teachers use Google Classroom to send work and to set assignments. Not all subjects use it as much as others - it obviously depends on the nature of the subject. 

Teachers give a code to their students to 'Join a Class'. A code will look something like this: fyjojha

Children must not use Google Classroom as a social media platform. 

If your child is struggling to log on they need to:

1. Open Google, ideally using Chrome

2. Use their school log on in the form 23smithw@arden.solihull.sch.uk (it is the Edulink log on, turned into an email)

3. Use the password they created and wrote into thier planner when they first logged onto a school computer
