My Child At School - Download the Guide for Parents
We are pleased to relaunch the Harris Garrard Academy MyChildAtSchool (MCAS) portal. In order to assist with the next steps of this process we would like all parents to have activated their MyChildAtSchool (MCAS) account.
Please click HERE to see a parent guide which will support you to log into your account.
Benefits of activating your account
You will be able to view your child’s behaviour, attendance and timetable.
- Rewards and behaviour points can be viewed in real time. For example, if a student is awarded a Harris Point during the school day you will be able to see this as soon as it is logged onto our system. You will also be able see the reason the point has been awarded. This makes for very positive conversions at home, especially during a lockdown where you may be working from home too!
- Attendance and punctuality is seen LIVE. You will be able to view your child’s overall attendance certificate, along with their daily attendance to each lesson. This will include punctuality as you will be able to see if your child has been late to lesson. (PLEASE NOTE: Unfortunately, this feature does not work for remote attendance and is only for attendance when students return to school)
- You will be able to see your child’s weekly timetable.
We would encourage all parents to sign up to MCAS. Students can have multiple parents signed up, as long as we have each parent’s email address registered on our system.
