Te Aroha Primary School is moving to a one-stop shop parent app for 2024. We are sending you an email with simple instructions to download and use the app. We encourage you to do this as soon as possible and contact us if you have any problems along the way. All student reports will be put onto the app this year so you will need the app to view your child's Term 4 report (copies can still be made for families if necessary - contact the office or your child's teacher for this).
The app has many positive features including;
- Messaging - no longer needing to have seesaw or school app for messages
- Reporting to families - your child's reports will be able to be accessed via the app (all reports posted on the app will be there, building up over time)
- Permission slips - they will be accessed and signed via the app
- School calendar - will be on the app
- Sending teacher messages - this will be done via the app
- Absences - will be done here too
- Student learning - you will have realtime access to your child's learning goals and progress, you will be able to see the evidence they use to meet their learning goals
- Kindo - all school payments can be made via the app
- Student learning conferences (parent/teacher interviews) - will be booked via the app
This is just a taster of what will be available to you. You can engage with it as much or as little as you like. It will be used in Term 1 next year by teachers for Maths and then in Term 2 for Maths and Literacy enabling you to follow your child's learning journey and strengthening the Home-School learning partnership. It is a big change for us all, so be patient with yourselves and allow time to become familiar with the app and all it's features.
AND PLEASE don't hesitate to contact us or come in if you have any problems getting the app going. We need EVERYONE accessing it before the end of Term 4. PS - all of your children will appear on the app i.e. if you have 3 children - all 3 of them should appear at the top of the app.
