School App for Mobile Devices
Connect APP
By now you have probably heard others in our school community talking about the introduction of the online environment called Connect. Communication at the school is a focus for us to ensure our community is informed and connected. At the moment we have the school newsletter, website, SMS app, the Facebook page, and the Connect APP will replace the Flexi Schools App.
Connect is a secure online environment developed by the Department of Education for staff, students and parents in public schools. It will give our teachers a tool to deliver content to the students via an online classroom. This means your children will be able to share with you what they are learning about and discuss issues together online anywhere, anytime. For you, Connect provides easy access to information relevant to your child’s classes and learning such as assessments, teacher feedback and attendance data.
We will use Connect to keep you updated with important information such as; notices for upcoming events, excursions and classroom activities.
Parent/Guardians have been sent an email invitation with a link to join the Connect group. If you have recently changed your email address or you have not received this email invitation, please advise the office by phoning 9391 4300 or emailing willandra.ps@education.wa.edu.au and we can update our details.
How to find out more;
• Check out the short video clip on Connect at https://vimeo.com/connectwa/welcome
• Download the Connect flyers for you and your child from Connect.
The Connect Now app can be downloaded from the Apple App Store or Google Play.
How will Parents access Connect?
Each parent will be given their own secure login to Connect. Connect is totally free and, because it is provided by the Department of Education, very safe. As well as being able to log into Connect on any internet-connected device, you may also receive notices from Connect that will be sent to you as either an email or a notification on your phone. A free app called Connect Now can be downloaded from Google Play or the Apple App Store and will let you receive Connect notices as push notifications.
If you have multiple children, you only need one login – even if your children attend different public schools.
When you log into Connect you will be able to see information specific to your own child/ren.
