Home school communications

Seesaw App Guidance – for parents/carers

Our app based home school commication system is essential information and updates on learning activities and events. Regular communication between school and home is encouraged. School communications are written up during the school day, time spent doing so is balanced with teaching time and therefore limits the level of information shared.

Guidelines:

For on-going relevant information e.g. timetable, kit requirements
Communications read daily as soon as practically possible
Staff will write up concise messages about the day’s activities and achievements
Other professionals may use the book e.g. therapists and respite care
Class team should write regularly (minimum of 3 times per week)
Some information may be required daily e.g. food intake, medical & personal care
Information e.g. significant injury, behaviour or illness should be relayed by phone or face to face, and recorded on school system and therefore not necessarily written in book
