The school uses the Aladdin Schools software service www.aladdin.ie for administrative purposes and Connect will give you secure access to messages from the school and to details of your child’s attendance, test results, reports cards etc via secure login from your internet browser or Aladdin Connect App.
Aladdin Connect is a fantastic way to enhance a school's communication with parents. It enables parents to stay connected and informed about their child's education by:
-
Ensuring that the school has their most up to date contact information - Allowing schools to gather permission(s) from parents
-
Allowing parents to quickly and efficiently select preferred slots for parent teacher meetings
-
Keeping parents apprised of their child's attendance
-
Keeping parents up to date on school and classroom news via noticeboard messages
-
Allowing parents to view what items their child had for homework today
-
Allowing parents view their child's approved report card
-
Giving parents the option to opt in to share contact information with their child's classmates’ parents via the Parent Privacy option for the class list.
-
Allowing parents to view their child's latest standardised test results
Along with strengthening our home/school partnership, we also envisage Aladdin Connect helping the school by:
-
Helping to improve attendance by allowing parents to keep track of any school days their child may have currently missed, along with late arrival and early leaving information.
-
Helping to reduce the amount of class/school notes being sent home
-
Helping the school/ teachers communicate with parents when the need arises
-
Reducing costs by eliminating the need to send school report cards by post
-
Reducing costs by reducing the number of text messages that need to be sent
You can rest reassured that Aladdin Schools uses state-of-the-art security to safeguard information entered by the school and data is stored and processed in strict compliance with Irish and European data protection laws.
The main advantage of using the App is to receive immediate alerts for app messages sent by your school. Downloading the App is highly recommended to enhance both the parent and school's Connect experience.
