Option choices reminder

Today is the deadline for option choices to be submitted via SIMS Options. As we have around 100 students yet to complete their option choices, we are going to leave SIMS Options open for the half-term break until the extended deadline of Monday 20^th February at 5pm. Any students who have not selected their options after the system is closed will be called down to the STAR office to select their options during the first week back after half-term.

Please see the email sent to year 8, 9 and 10 families today for further reminders about option choices.

The extended deadline for selecting options is Monday 20th February at 5pm, after which time SIMS Options will be closed and no further changes online will be possible.

Further information about options can be found on the school website https://www.aylshamhigh.com/optionchoices
