Last year, one of the projects of the School Council was to try to introduce a group SMS system into the school similar to the one used in Kinross High. We got Fossoway onto the pilot study being run by PKC, and had the full term before the summer holidays of using and testing.

The feedback from parents was excellent, and the school also found it useful, and so we’ve carried on with the concept. The exact software has changed to become more integrated into the existing school computer management system and is slightly cheaper to send texts, but the basic concept remains the same. What has changed now, however, is that the school now incurs all the costs. A message to the whole school costs around £5, which soon mounts up over a term, therefore the school has to charge groups for the use of the system.

FSC have decided that the fund raising groups, FPSA and ECOLE, shouldn’t have to spend their money on communicating, so all costs incurred by those groups using the SMS system will be covered by the School Council.

Fossoway Nursery is having an open day on 1st March, from 1pm till 3pm. All parents are invited to come along and find out what happens in our Nursery day to day. ECOLE will be helping on the day, and also doing a bit of fundraising!
