COMPASS PARENT PORTAL
Thank you to those parents who have registered for the Compass portal. All details on how to register were sent home last week. Please ensure that both parents register so they can access all student details.
Within the next two weeks, automated attendance notifications will commence. If your child is absent from school you will receive an email. This email will include a link for you to click on and record your child’s reason for absence.
From Week 5 we will be using Compass as the main communication tool for St Brigid’s. This will mean that all school alerts and emails will now come through Compass and not Skoolbag. You may like to download the Compass App onto your Smartphone to ensure you receive all alerts and messages.
OFFICIAL ST BRIGID'S FACEBOOK PAGE
St Brigid’s have launched a school based Facebook page that will regularly post announcements about school events, share good news stories and promote upcoming events. The page can be accessed using the following link:

It is important that all parents are familiar with the Diocesan Social Media Policy and comment and contribute as per the guidelines.
