My Child At School App (MCAS)
What is MCAS?
My Child At School (MCAS) is an online portal by a company called Bromcom, for parents, that enables us to share key information about your child's day to day school information including their personal details, attendance data, school reports and information about parents' evenings, amongst other things.
MCAS fulfils several important fuctions at St. Francis including:
- Making school lunch bookings
- Making breakfast & after-school club bookings
- Booking Trips: Parents will use it to grant permission for school trips and pay for them
- Communications: It will be used by school to send out all communications
- Reporting Absences: Parents can use the portal to report absences
- Tracking your child’s attendance: Parents can monitor their child’s attendance records.
