Members of the school community may be invited to register their details on the
Schoolcomms web site in order to start receiving messages from the school.
Your school will issue you with a letter for each of your children introducing
you to Schoolcomms.

receive messages for themselves
-
Click Next.
-
You will be asked to confirm whether the named person is you or your child, as

If you are registering as a parent or carer, the next screen will ask you to

they can choose to send them to only the prime parent or to all linked adults.

as prime parent for any child but then both will receive all messages sent by
the school, including urgent messages.
