We know that as parents you get information coming at you thick and fast from schools and clubs and it can be a challenge to keep all that information organised and easy to hand. More often than not that can mean trawling through busy email inboxes or searching for missing bits of paper.
As we move forward we will be using more of ParentMail and its connectivity advantages to communicate and organise events with parents and pupils. If you have not provided the school with email contact details please do so to help make this transition as smooth as possible and remember to activate your ParentMail accounts once you receive your confirmation emails.
Once you are connected we’d like to encourage ALL parents to download the ParentMail App as there are a number of benefits both to you and for the school.
- You don’t need to login to pickup messages or attachments when you use the App.
- The APP stores all the messages we send you in one place so you don’t have to search.
- Every message sent arrives as an instant alert on your mobile.* (important – see below)
*At the moment you’ll be aware that we may send text messages to you from time to time especially for urgent situations, but these are expensive costing the school hundreds of pounds each year. If we can persuade parents to use the APP we can stop sending text messages completely and put the money spent to better use. You can download the APP for free from either the Apple APP store (link opens in new window) or the Google Play (link opens in new window) Store and it will really help you to get the best experience from the ParentMail system.
If you do not have access to a smart phone remember all the features of the App are available through the ParentMail website pmx.parentmail.co.uk (link opens in new window).
