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 :) -

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?
