iPad update - streamlining our apps
To improve device performance and save storage space, we have moved several less-frequently used iPad apps to the Jamf Self Service app.
What this means for you: If you notice an app is missing from your device, it hasn't been removed permanently. It is now available for "on-demand" download. This keeps your device running faster by only installing what you need.
How to get your apps:
Open the Self Service app on your device.
Browse or search for the application you need.
Click Install.
The app will download and install in the background immediately.
Your iPad storage should be no more than 90% full
Please keep an eye on the amount of space you are using on your iPad and delete any unwanted personal apps. Keep at least 10% of storage space free so you can install updates and any apps your teachers want you to use.
Free sanitary products for students
Access to essential sanitary products should never be a barrier to education, dignity, or wellbeing.
To support our school community, we are offering a range of free period products including pads, tampons, period pants, and Tampax — available for anyone who needs them.
Discreet. No questions asked.
How to collect:
Visit Room B31 before school or during break times
Or speak directly with Ms. Southee
Weekly Collection Point:
Tuesdays after school in B31
Feel free to drop in and collect what you need.
Stay Safe Online – Don’t Share Your Passwords!
Your school login is just like your house key – it keeps your digital life safe and private. Sharing your password with friends (even your best friend!) is never a good idea. Here's why:
Someone could change your work or delete it.
They might send messages pretending to be you.
You could get in trouble for things you didn’t do.
Cyber Safety Tips:
Keep your passwords secret – don’t even tell your friends.
Use a strong password that’s hard to guess (not “123456” or “football”).
Log out when you’re finished, especially on shared devices.
If you think someone else knows your password – tell a teacher or IT straight away.
Need to change your password?

Let’s all do our part to keep our school accounts safe!
E-reader
There is a new e-reader that replaces ePlatform on your iPads.
We are really excited about rolling this out to staff and students as it offers so much more than our previous e-reader. You will now have access to a wide range of fiction, non-fiction, magazines and audiobooks!
Please use this link to connect you to Sora: https://soraapp.com/library/uksecondary
Then find Haslingden High School and login using your @haslingdenhigh email address. We would also love to know your thoughts once you've had a chance to explore the app.

Many thanks,

Lunchtime Sport
This year we are giving you the opportunity to play some indoor sport at lunchtime. Please see the timetable here for when your year group is able to attend. The timetable will start from Monday 7th September.
There are some brief guidelines here -
*All activities are in the Sports Hall and Gym. Please access through the main doors. The Astro turf and the back of school remains out of bounds at lunchtime.
*The clubs will not start until you are allowed to leave the dining areas after 15 minutes of your lunch. Please do not arrive before then.
* You will not be able to eat your lunch or drink in the Sports Hall or Gym.
*You do not need P.E kit to participate and must remain in uniform.
* If it is not your day to access the facilities then you will still be able to borrow a ball from teachers on duty on the tennis courts and play there.
* The red areas on the timetable are where the Sports hall and Gym are not available due to lessons being on at this time. The PE area is therefore out of bounds. Please keep to the days and times for your year group.
Thank you and we look forward to seeing you there! The P.E department.
