UPDATED - PAM - Parent Access Module
PAM is our online student reporting system that is aimed at giving parents regular reports across the school year. The new format will not only keep parents up to date with children’s progression, but will also help improve communication between home and school which is crucial to student learning.
Progression Points and collated personal comments similar to our previous report format will still be distributed at the end of each semester.
PAM is accessible through the school website, see the blue bar at the bottom of the home page, link below.
https://www.smmooroopna.catholic.edu.au/
All information stored on this program is totally private and will be accessed by school staff only. Please contact the office if you are having difficulties accessing this system.
NEW - Student Absences
Please continue this process during remote learning -
If your child is absent, you are required to notify the school. This can be done via PAM, instructions are detailed on the 'Simon Everywhere' page of this newsletter.
Absences can be phoned through to the school office or you can notify your students teacher direct.
Following government guidelines, If we have not been notified of your students absence, you will receive an automated SMS as a reminder, which will be followed up if we do not receive confirmation of student absence.
REMINDER - Late arrival / Early collection
If you arrive at school after 8.50am or leave school before 3.10pm student/s must be signed in or out at the school office.
The school is to be notified of any student absences. If you know your student will be absent please add this through 'PAM' or contact the school office.
Schools are now legislated to contact families regarding ’unexplained absences’, and parents will receive a text message for any ‘unexplained absence’ including late arrivals that are not signed in at the office. If you receive a message, we ask you to please contact the office to notify reason for absence.
