Arbor

At Thistly Meadow we use a parent communication service called Arbor. Arbor is an electronic communication and messaging system that allows us to send e-letters and in App messages and enables parents to pay for school trips, swimming and dinner money on-line.

When your child starts at Thistly Meadow, you will be issued with a registration link to your  email address to set up your Arbor account. Up to four individuals can register for an account for a child times so both parents and other relatives/carers can receive information from the school. 

Using Arbor benefits both the school and parents tremendously; we can save costs on paper and the time taken to produce copy letters and there is no chance of letters going astray between home and school. Additionally parents get their communication quickly and reminders are more effective. 

Arbor works best using the free app, which you can access here for Apple and here for Android phones.
