School Comms – Advance notice, we will no longer be using School Comms by the end of March. We therefore ask that all correspondence comes in to us via dojo message, email or phone call. If you are currently using School Comms to send absence messages, please start using Class Dojo to send a message to the school office instead. Thank you
