Become a Class Rep

The Class Parents have the main roles: 

• to be a communication link between FOCUS and parents (helpful in spreading information and requests for some of the social and fund raising events).

• to get together a contact list via whatsapp for the class, so parents can get in touch with each other.

• to provide an extra communication link between the teacher and parents (useful for organizing a rota for parent helpers in the class, donating materials and talents for class projects, or finding helpers for an outing).

We use the Classlist and Whatsapp to communicate and share information. When you sign up you can let us know which class your child is in so that you receive messages relating to that class and year group as well as the whole school. You can also use Classlist to arrange playdates with other families, or ask questions about things like missing uniforms. It should only be used for contacting other people in your class about school, class and child related activities.
