New Ways of Talking to Parents
The majority of parents are very good at informing us when your child is absent from school but sometimes we don’t know why they are absent. We have recently introduced a new system, which automatically contacts parents if your child is not marked present at school each morning, which we are calling “Absence Alert”. You may therefore receive an automated telephone call to any of your home, mobile or work telephone numbers and these are repeated hourly until the system receives a reply. You can then respond and advise the school of the reason why your child is absent or speak to the school if you believe your child is in school. If you have any concerns about this system or want to check you contact numbers please contact the relevant pastoral staff at school.
We also now have the facility to text and email parents with important messages such as news of an enforced school closure or reminders about parents’ evenings. If you would like to receive email messages of this nature please email us at pupildata@deerparkschool.net with your child’s name in the email title. We will then record the email address that the message was sent from and send you occasional emails to this address.
