NEW PARENT PORTAL and APP.

Parents/caregivers have recently been sent an email containing the steps that you need to register for the new Parent Portal and App. Should you experience difficulties, or if you have not received an email, please do not hesitate to contact the office for assistance.

Sentral for Parents App

Assumption College Warwick are moving to a new Portal and App for parents and caregivers in Term 4. The Parent Portal is available via any device with an internet connection. The App is called Sentral for Parents and is available from Google Play Store or the Apple App Store. 

To access the Portal, you will receive a unique Portal Access Key from the school that will provide access to your student's information. This Portal Access Key is contained in the email that was recently sent to parents/caregivers. Once you set up an account password, you can use this login for both the Parent Portal online and the App.

If you have students at another Diocese of Toowoomba Catholic School, you will receive a separate Access Key from the other school. You will be able to switch between schools within the App settings.

With the Parent Portal or the mobile phone App, you will have access to the following features:

Newsfeed

• The Newsfeed will contain news items from the school relating to your child. Some items may require you to act, whilst others will be informational only. The Newsfeed items can also contain attachments that you can download. When a Newsfeed item requires you to take an action (e.g. grant approval for student to attend an activity), clicking on the item will take you to a screen that will allow you to perform that action. Academic reports will also be published to the Portal newsfeed.

Absences

• Absences allows you to communicate absence information to the school. This includes past absences that require explanation and ‘future’ absences. A ‘future’ absence occurs when you are aware your child(ren) will be away from school.

Messages

• Messages acts as a direct line of contact between parents/caregivers and the teachers of your children’s classes. It is important to understand when you can expect responses from teachers. This should be discussed with teachers to have realistic expectations of communications and to know how long you can expect to wait between correspondences.

Daily Notices

• Daily Notices are written up by the school for the day, as opposed to the Newsfeed, which is a live feed of things relating to your child.

Interviews

• Interviews relate to parent and teacher interviews. Parents/caregivers can book available time slots or request a specific time.

Resources

• School documents that we wish to share with you as parents/caregivers.

Newsletters

• Open and download current and past newsletters from this area.

Links

• We will share web sites of interest to parents and caregivers, and you will see links to these sites here.

Calendars

• In Calendars, you can view school schedules and important events by ‘Today’, ‘Week’, or ‘Month’ by clicking on the sections at the top of the screen. Drill down into a specific event in the calendar for details.
