Dear Parent/Guardian,

As you may be aware from the general meeting our school will be rolling out the Aladdin Schools Connect to parents/guardians of children for September 2023.

Aladdin Connect is a fantastic way to enhance a school's communication with  parents. It

enables you,  as 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 news via noticeboard messages

- Allowing parents view their child's approved report card

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 communicate with parents when the need arises

You can rest reassured that Aladdin Schools uses state-of-the-art security to safeguard entered by the school and data is stored and processed in strict compliance with Irish and European data protection laws.

In the next few days, you will receive an email message containing your registration link. There will be one link per parent (email address) which will allow the parent to access information for all their children in the school from one user account. Please do not forward this email or share this link as this is a unique registration code for each parent for your child/children in this school.

During registration you will choose a password that will be used in conjunction with your email address to securely access the Aladdin Connect going forward. Once you are registered you will be sent an email with links to download the Aladdin Connect App for

your mobile device. 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.
