We are excited to announce that our school will soon be transitioning to a new platform for all communication between school and families.
This will replace our current Parent Apps. We use Parent Apps for parent pay, and parent connect (messaging service). We will begin by firstly moving our messaging service, ParentApp connect, offering a more streamlined, user-friendly experience with the payment system replacing parent pay at a later date.
Arbor will allow parents to manage their child's school activities, and will eventually include registration for clubs, payments, and monitoring attendance and progress.
Parents will be able to download the Arbor app, enable notifications, and log in using their email and password.
The Arbor App will also let parents register their child for an educational visit, book parents evening slots, and manage payments all from their phone or computer.
What is the Arbor Parent App?
The Arbor App can be used on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Churchtown Primary School will inform you in the next few weeks regarding the switch on via letter, so you can download the App and begin using it straight away!
Logging in
When Churchtown Primary School enables Arbor App, we will send you a welcome email. This email will contain a link that will take you to the browser version where you need to set up a password. You can set your password using a computer, or using a mobile browser on your phone or tablet.
If you have a child at more than one Arbor school, you will be asked to select the appropriate school.
Further information will be shared soon, it is vital that your personal email address is what we have on our school system, so if this needs to be checked then please contact the school office directly.
It is important as we move to this system that any outstanding balances on ParentPay are also cleared and credit added to avoid any debt moving onto the new platform.
In the short term, we will be continuing to use our current ParentPay system and ParentApp Connect, so there will be no issues with school communications or school payments.
