Receive Account Information from School

Note: When a MyChildAtSchool User Account is created for a Parent by the School, the Parent will receive notification from the school with the following 3 pieces of information;

• School ID
• Username – be aware this may be different to the username the parent has for a school portal
• Invitation Code

Below is an example of an email sent to a Parent (Note the email format may be different from this example);

If a Parent is unsure of the School ID, you can resend the Invitation Code email to them via Modules>MCAS>User Accounts or you can tell them directly.

The School ID can be retrieved when you log in to the MIS and click on the school name as shown below in the top left of Bromcom
