Dear Parents and Carers,

We are very pleased to announce that we are introducing a fantastic new way to communicate and share information with you, our parent community. At Weddington Primary School, we want you to feel as much a part of your child's education as possible and feel the best way to do this is by making the best use of smartphone technology. Although we anticipate this will be a slow process, and ask you to be patient with us as we roll out MyEd, we will eventually be replacing Class Dojo with this app. We therefore request that, if possible, you install and begin using the app as soon as possible.

MyEd is a free parent app that gives you a multitude of communication and information features to keep you in touch with what is going on at Weddington. The app gives you direct access to your child's attendance and absence record and, in the future, we also hope to share their achievements and behaviours with you and collect permissions via the 'Forms' module.

We can send messages directly to the MyEd app relating to important information about your child's education and to remind you of events that are taking place at school.

You will receive a notification if, we send you a message, and there is no charge for the messages you send to us.

The MyEd app is available for both Apple iOS and Android devices and can be found using the links below:

Step 1 - Go to your App Store

Step 2 - Search for My Ed

Step 3 - Download the Free app

Once you have installed and opened MyEd, search for Weddington Primary School and follow the simple instructions to identify yourself.

Please be aware that you will not see your child's information on the student tab for the first 24 hours. If their details do not appear after this time, please contact the school office and they will be able to assist you further.

We hope you enjoy using the app and find it a useful source of information.

Thank you

Weddington Primary School
