IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Dear Parents/Guardians, 

We are excited to advise you that we are adopting a new system named Operoo. Some people may have already used this system, previously known as CareMonkey. 

The Operoo system makes it very easy for you to notify us of an absentee child and respond to excursion, camp and other consent forms using your mobile phone, tablet or PC. No more paperwork! No more lost forms or notes covered in a squashed banana in bags, no more concerns about children missing out on information when they are absent.

It will greatly reduce the burden on you to provide information that is repetitive. For example, it will allow you to keep your or your child’s emergency contact and medical information up to date; so you don’t need to repeat this information again whilst your child is at St. Joseph’s. It also puts you in control of this data so you’ll always know what emergency contacts and medical information is shared with the school.

 We do need a valid email address from you in order to use the Operoo system. Please share those details with us if you haven’t already. 

You don’t need to do anything else until you receive an email invitation from us asking you to sign up for your Operoo account. After that, you’ll receive notifications whenever there is an electronic form to complete for your child. We are looking forward to getting Operoo up and running as soon as possible so please look out for an email next week or early the week after. If you don’t receive an email, please let us know.

From St Joseph’s perspective, apart from many environmental advantages (e.g. substantially reducing paper usage), Operoo will greatly simplify many administration tasks and will provide us with the most up to date information about your child. All information provided will only be visible by the relevant staff for you or your child and will be managed in accordance with our privacy policies. Details about Operoo’s security and privacy procedures can be found here: https://www.operoo.com/terms-policies-security/.

Once Operoo is operational we will no longer use Konnective as this new system will be used to send classroom news, general information and absentee enquiries.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions. You can visit the Operoo website for more information here: http://www.operoo.com/ There is also a parent introduction page here: https://www.operoo.com/intro-for-parents/
