NOT TO OFFEND ANYONE

But is there any way to opt out of school emails telling me all the exciting things the children in school are doing? I've been self isolating 3 weeks now and mental health not great as a result. Thanks

I’m the same so I know exactly how u feel it will be 4 weeks for me and my 3 and my 2 asthmatic hence the isolation before school closure. Plus just you I have mental health probs to it’s is so hard not just for us but trying to keep kids entertained and well as all the other parent things we normally do on a day to day basis! Can u maybe email the senco at the school ask them if they can arrange to opt u out or can’t you maybe make it so your emails from school are not on you notifications till things lighten up ?? X

Mark them as spam.

I presume you need to be able to get emails from the same address that have useful content? Is it clear from the subject that they're the unhelpful emails, could you just delete them without opening. Hopefully it would quickly become normal and you wouldn't be as affected?

Thanks all. I've disabled the FB app on.my phone and unfollowed them on twitter. Its usually a convenient way to see newsletters or if they've told us to come in another way as the back entrance path is icy etc. The email was telling me about all the exciting things the children have learned including ballroom dancing! They also tagged on the end about parent teacher meetings so I DO need to know what the alternative for that will be.

I would let them know that you are struggling and their communications are having a negative impact on your mental health. Only if you feel strong enough though obviously
