IMPORTANT: PLEASE CHECK AND UPDATE YOUR ARBOR INFORMATION

Dear Reception carers and parents,

It is a statutory Government requirement that all schools run a termly census using information held on their Management Information System.

One of the fields we are required to report is your child’s first language. We can see that the majority of Reception parents have not yet completed this information.

Please could you log in to Arbor and complete your child’s first language information by Monday 28th September. We would be very grateful if you could do this by the deadline, as it will save the school having to contact families individually.

We would also like to remind parents to ensure that at least two emergency contacts, and ideally three, are recorded for your child on Arbor. A number of children currently have only one emergency contact listed.

Please update this information as soon as possible if you have not already done so. In an emergency, we need to be confident that we have alternative contacts available if we are unable to reach a parent or carer.

Thank you for your help in keeping your child’s information accurate and up to date.

To update your child's first language

Logon to Arbor and click on the green "View Student Profile"
Select the Language field under the Student Details section and select the relevant language, ticking the 1st language option.

If you have any problems logging onto Arbor, please do let the school office know.

Many thanks.
