Communication Templates
Below is some suggested wording for communicating to your parents that your school is now using School Gateway.
Customise the wording to make it relevant to your school. All words in capitals require your input (such as SCHOOL NAME) and the functionality that your school has will be dependent on the functionality you bought, so please be careful to read through the information before sending it out. We’ve highlighted the functionality parts to make it easy for you.
