Communication with Classroom Teachers
Parents are encouraged to make direct contact with classroom teachers to deal with matters of concern. Messages and emails can be sent via the Compass App.
For quick matters, before or after school are ideal times. For more involved matters, a meeting time will need to be made with the teacher. Any parent wishing to discuss concerns with the Executive Team regarding their child’s teacher should have addressed the concerns with the teacher first.
Please keep the teacher informed of anything that may impact on the child’s emotional wellbeing at school. This allows the teacher to be proactive and support your child through difficult situations.
Compass
At Allendale, we use Compass to communicate with parents and manage student information at school.
Parents can easily:
- View the school events calendar
- Receive communication from the school
- Communicate with your child’s teacher
- Access your child’s semester reports
- Submit attendance notes
- Order from the Canteen
- Consent and pay for excursions and more!
There are two ways to access the parent portal
- via a web browser Sign in to Compass here
- or via the app which is available to download for IOS from the App Store here or Android Devices here
Parent logins have been sent out via email and our front office staff are more than happy to help should you require assistance.
Parents are now able to access the Compass parent portal and mobile app with a one-time code link, rather than using their username and password. An explanation on how to login on both mobile devices and on a desktop computer can be found in this Login to Compass guide. It also provides details on how to switch accounts if you have students at multiple schools.
Seesaw
At Allendale Primary School, we use Seesaw to share the teaching and learning happening in your child’s classroom and for parents to be able to view their children’s work. It is important for parents and caregivers to be connected to their child/ren’s Seesaw journals.
You can download the Seesaw App from the App or Google Play stores for free. To connect to your child’s account please complete this short form, you can also see your child’s teacher for a QR code or email allendale.ps.admin@education.wa.edu.au with your child’s name and your name, and we will send you a link to connect.
