Sentral Permission Notes (Non-Payment)

Presently we are trialing permission notes with NO PAYMENT to be sent out via Sentral Parent Portal. You should receive an email notifying you that there is a new permission request for an activity. You will need to first login to your Sentral Parent portal app, up the top you will see a 'Portal Version 2' Click on that and down the left hand side you will see your child's name, click on the name and the activity permission slip will appear. 

Thank you
