Upcoming Changes, including Payments and Dinner Money
As you will be aware, we moved to a new student management system in April, called Bromcom, which includes the new parent app called MyChildAtSchool (MCAS). This change has provided a number of benefits to our school community.
MCAS allows you to receive essential information and regular updates about your child(ren) and their life at Five Acres High School. Currently, it allows you to access the following:
- Announcements - Receive and store announcements
- Attendance - Check your child's attendance
- Contact Details - Check and update your details
- Important documents - Safely stored in one place
- Lesson Timetables - View your child's timetable
From September 2023 we will be using the MCAS app and portal for payments, as well as school communications. MCAS will replace ParentPay to enable us to have just one system to simplify things for parents/carers. In addition to the above benefits, from September 2023 MCAS will also allow you to:
- Trips / Visits - View details of your child's upcoming trips and provide consent
- School Meals - Top up your child's school meal account
- School Shop - Purchase items direct from the school (eg stationery, house badges and uniform)
ParentPay will no longer be accessible from the last day of the summer term, Tuesday 25 July, however any school meal account balances that are in credit will be held and transferred to your child's account in MCAS.
If you have any outstanding payment items showing in ParentPay, please can you make payments by Friday 21 July.
Payments for trips that will take place after September 2023 will be transferred to MCAS, so parents/carers will see the remaining balance via MCAS.
