SAVE THE DATE REMINDER!๐โฐ
Changes and transitions can feel unsettling for young people; whether that's moving to a new year group or starting secondary school in September.
SMM's are hosting a FREE workshop together with the Brighton & Hove Inclusion Support Service to help guide you and your child through this exciting (but sometimes uncertain) time.
Please join us to discuss how to have a great start to the new school year, with practical ways to support your child through this change.

Dear SMM Families and Carers ๐โจ
St Mary Magdalen's Catholic Primary School and Nursery is now using the ๐ฑ Arbor Parent App! ๐
All legal guardians will be emailed their login details shortly ๐ง so please keep an eye out for this email so you can get set up quickly and easily ๐
(Donโt forget to check your junk/spam folderโฆ just in case!)๐ก
With the Arbor app you can:
โ
View your childโs attendance
๐ Report absences quickly and easily
๐ Update your childโs and your own contact information
๐ฉ Receive messages and reminders directly from school
๐
Check your childโs calendar (always up to date!)
๐ฅ In the near future: register for Breakfast Club (coming soon ๐)
The app is much easier to use than the web browser version ๐ปโก๏ธ๐ฑ so weโd really encourage everyone to download it once you receive your login details ๐
๐ฅ Download the Arbor Parent App via:
๐ค Google Play or ๐ App Store, search โArbor Parent Appโ
โ ๏ธ Please note: payments for clubs and school items will still continue to be made through ParentPay.
