COMPASS
It is extremely important that all parents and carers access the COMPASS Portal either via the Compass App on their phone or on their computer desktop. This is our parent communication platform for:
- giving permission and making payment for all school events by due dates
- receiving important information regarding school activities
- receiving your child's school academic reports
- booking Parent/Teacher Interviews
- submitting absentee notes for your child
- emailing your child's teacher
Please ensure that you have NOTIFICATIONS turned on for your Compass App so that you are notified of any communication from Compass.
If you are unable to access COMPASS or cannot remember your username, please contact Ms Traynor at the office for instructions.
