communication to parents
Hi, @yellowdog845. Absolutely! I'd recommend the Memos feature for this. You can enable Memos from Configuration > Features and then you'll find it on your top task bar. Memos work similarly to observations, but they don't get added to children's journals so work best for things like announcements and newsletters. You can send memos to individual parents or groups. If you have any other questions, do let us know :) -

Good Afternoon, Is there a place where we can update parents what is happening in the setting e.g. dates for your diary and a place to send out news letters -

Policy approval
We have so many policies and we are currently taking them to our Trustee Board Meetings annually for re-approval. Do you all take every policy to your Trustees/Governors etc for approval and signature or just the statutory ones? -

Amazon Fire tablets and the new Tapestry app
A brand-new Tapestry app is coming soon! This isn’t just an update; it’s a completely new app built from the ground up to make recording and sharing children’s learning smoother and easier than ever. This new app will fully replace the old one you’ve been using. However, it does come with some new requirements and recommendations for Amazon Fire users that may affect you. New operating system requirements To use the new app, your device must be: Running Amazon Fire OS 7 or higher, and Be a 9th generation tablet or newer. To check your device, go to Settings > Device Options > About Fire Tablet. You’ll find both your OS version and device generation. Important notes: Devices running OS 7 on 9th–11th generation hardware can install the app, but may experience slower performance due to limited memory. For the best experience, we recommend OS 8 or higher on 12th generation devices or newer. If you need to replace your device, we’ve put together a list of lower-cost recommended options. If you have any questions, our support team is here to help: customer.service@eyfs.info
