Denaby Main Primary Academy Astrea Academy Trust
Happy New Year everyone and welcome back to school. I hope that you have had a good Christmas and managed to stay well.
We are looking forward to seeing you and the children back in school tomorrow. Please see below for our current Covid guidance.
Mrs Mason
Very Important information regarding future communications from us.
Please note you have been notified by school that we no longer have the Astrea App and as of now we are unable to send text messages. All communication will now be either via email or “My Child At School” App. This App has been highly recommended and is free. It is parent’s responsibility to ensure you are kept up to date with all communications sent by school regarding your child. We will not accept any responsibility for missed communications.
The quickest way to receive communications will be if you have the “My Child At School” App as you will get notifications to tell you that you have a new message regarding your child. Parent queries sent to school will also be responded to quickest by a message sent via the App.
How to set up the My Child At School App You have been sent an email with an invitation code and link to https://mychildatschool.com
Open link and you must first click on “Redeem Invitation Code” – this is not your password!
Simply follow the onscreen instructions to set up your account and create your own password.
If you have multiple children at our school, you can view all information via this one account.
Once your account is set up you can now download the app on your smartphone or tablet by searching “My Child At School”.
A parent guide containing all information on how you can use the My Child At School App was also sent via email.
Please note that in order for the App set up to work the Priority 1 contact email in our pupil database must match with the one you are setting it up on.
We would like to thank our parents/carers for taking the time in setting up this App. We will soon be introducing all dinner payments, breakfast payments, school trips etc from this App too so you will have everything in one place. Details of this will follow in the near future.
Please call at the school office if you are needing further support with the My Child At School App.
Covid measures Spring 22.
- Please continue to use our one way system and maintain distance from other parents whilst dropping off and picking up. If this is not possible you may want to consider wearing a mask.
- Windows and doors will be open in school to maintain a good air flow and children will be encouraged to wash their hands frequently.
- Please do not send children to school if they exhibit any signs of being unwell and seek a PCR test if signs of Covid are present. Be aware that this could include the signs of a cold.
- We hope that we do not have to close any year groups but if we do we will contact you straight away and explain the arrangements for working from home.
- Be aware that any adult who is not exempt should wear a face covering in any communal area of the school and if attending a meeting
- Since Wednesday 22 December, the 10-day self-isolation period for people who record a positive PCR test result for COVID-19 has been reduced to 7 days in most circumstances, unless you cannot test for any reason. Individuals may now take LFD tests on day 6 and day 7 of their self-isolation period. Those who receive two negative test results are no longer required to complete 10 full days of self-isolation. The first test must be taken no earlier than day 6 of the self-isolation period and tests must be taken 24 hours apart. This also applies to children under five, with LFD testing at parental or guardian discretion. If both these test results are negative, and the person does not have a high temperature, they may end their self-isolation after the second negative test result and return to school.
