DGD is going on a Brownie weekend from Friday to Sunday so will have to ask to leave school early on the Friday. I innocently asked if mummy or the guider was going to send a letter to the school. “Letter!” Was the reply, “this isn’t the olden days Grandma , we use emails these days!” Of course I’m too ancient to know that. Sigh!

Yes, apparently that is so. Parents/guardians can also see an online record of percentage attendances……..are parents saw none of that until the year-end report sent home in a sealed envelope shortly before school broke up in July.

DD says she is inundated by emails from her boys' school. So much information sent or searchable. The school has a whole IT dept running it all.
