MyChildAtSchool

At Meadow Park School, we use MyChildAtSchool (MCAS), which is an online portal that helps manage and report on many aspects of school life. With MCAS, school news and information specific to your child is shared in real time, including behaviour, attendance, parent letters, student timetables, school calendar/ events and much more. MCAS is also our primary means of communication with parents and carers.

When you create a parent portal account, you can view information tailored for your child. You can see when your child is in lessons, and the behaviour module provides a real-time view displaying positive comments and points awarded, as well as informing you where aspects of behaviour may be limiting progress.

Our vision is that MCAS becomes the single access point for parents and carers, providing up-to-date school news and information, a place to communicate and engage with the school and the ability to track the progress and development of your child as it happens.
