Using the app
We hope that you will find the information on the MCAS portal a useful tool to know about key school information and your child’s progress. We expect that the topic you will engage with most regularly will be the behaviour and attendance module, especially as you will see behaviour events and attendance marks added in real-time. You can have positive and productive conversations with your child about their behaviour and attendance.
