Compass
If parents need to alert the school to home arrangements for their child or any change to their daily routine please contact the office in the first instance as teachers do not always have time to check their emails during the school day.
If your child has an appointment and will be arriving at school late please do not enter this on Compass. Only enter absent notes if your child will be absent for the day or longer.
