How many emails do you get from your secondary?

[5FootMama]

wowee - i got 10 emails from the school these last two weeks. TEN!!!! This can't be normal? DD is in Year 7, and I'm going mad! this is just everyday stuff.. weekly newsletter... netball club might be cancelled...it is cancelled...this event is coming up .. that event will need x... don't forget...

How many do you get normally???

None because you have to log in to a completely different app to read all the messages. Something they didn't actually mention and I didn't realise to the October!

But on the App it can be similar to what you say... club cancellations, termly newsletter etc. Just 3 or 4 a week.

After receiving 5 or 6 a day from Primary school its quite sparse.

Not emails but I probably get on average one message per day on ClassCharts. That’s for two DCs at the school.

I never got anything. Just something about parents evening once a year. No phone calls, messages.

There was once a message about GCSE results.

It was tumbleweed for 6 years.

About the same as you. More in the last week as there’s been 4 about the strikes. Most are not relevant or can just be skim read. Hardly an issue.

1-2 a day, by email and also repeated in the app, and sometimes the same information in a text message too. That doesn't include trip letters, school reports, illness notifications and the like.

The school info is spread between 3 unconnected platforms and it is quite frankly a nightmare.

Two a week usually and they cover everything in those (so one email will tell us about non-uniform day, parking issues, an upcoming trip and the fact Mr Bloggs is retiring). Then anything urgent ("netball is cancelled today") on top.

One a term maybe? Very little email blast, kids get emails about stuff to their school address and are mostly expected to sort it themselves
