Access School Software From Home (Updated September 2025)
Students can access many of the apps and websites that we use at school from home. To sign in, you will need the correct web link, and you will need to know your school email address and password. You will need a laptop, desktop, or a mobile device such as an iPad or a smartphone with a modern web browser.

SIMS Parent
SIMS Parent is our app for parents to access reports and assessments. When reports are released you will receive an email to notify you. You will then be able to sign into Sims Parent to view your child's report. If your child is new to the school, you will receive your invitation email for Sims Parent shortly before your child's first report is published.
