Communication and Data Protection
In the interests of Data Protection, we wanted to ensure that we are no longer holding pupil details on unused apps or websites.
Crossmichael Primary no longer uses the ‘Seesaw’ app that was being trialled by Mrs Glover last year. Pupil details have been deleted from this app and we advise that parents delete the app if they were using it.
I have contacted the administrator of the old websites and I have asked them to delete the websites and URLs.
We still use https://www.classdojo.com/ as a way of recording House Points but we no longer store any email addresses or information other than your child’s first name on this secure website. We no longer use the ‘Parent Share’ function in Class Dojo.
We continue to send GroupCall texts to your mobile phones. GroupCall is directly linked to data from our Council based SEEMiS system.
The Expressions app is also linked to GroupCall and SEEMiS but we do not use it after gathering feedback from parents. You may delete the Expressions app.
Crossmichael Primary Health Group
Pupils from our Health Group wish to encourage healthy eating by having ‘Fruity Fridays’. On a Friday we encourage pupils to bring fruit or vegetables for snack and they will be awarded House Points. The group will record numbers over the next few weeks and months and pupils will be rewarded for taking one step towards being healthier.
