MCAS

What is MCAS?

At Ossett Academy we make use of My Child at School (MCAS). This is an electronic communication platform which links directly to our academy data systems to ensure contact details are up to date and information is received quickly.

Parents/carers need to sign up to this system and it is recommended that any adult with parental responsibility for the child does so.

What do you use MCAS for?

  • Quick messages regarding your child e.g. ‘above and beyond’ messages from staff
  • Letters, both personalised letters for your child or links to whole school letters
  • Reports e.g. your child’s most recent data report
  • Making Parents Evening appointments
  • Tracking your child’s attendance
  • Updating personal details for you and your child
  • Accessing your child’s timetable

How do I access and use MCAS?

You can access the web version or download the app via the links below. If you are viewing on a PC, you can scan the QR code below to go directly to the MCAS website.

There is a user guide and FAQs to help you use MCAS below. Please note, this user guide covers the full functionality of MCAS, which we will continue to phase in. Therefore, not all of the modules discussed in the guide are currently activated.

FAQs

How do I set up my account?

The academy will need your email address to create your account. Once your account is created you’ll receive an email containing a link to allow you set your password.

Once complete, login to the app or website using your email address and password.

What do I do if I've forgotten my username or password?

Users can self-reset their password by following the Reset Password link beneath the login form on the MCAS Website, and entering their email address when prompted.

Please remember to check Spam and Junk folders for emails if they don’t show up in your inbox.

What do I do if I've forgotten my PIN?

The MCAS app asks you to set a secure PIN to protect your account. This PIN is set and stored only on your phone. Should you forget this PIN number, the only solution is to delete the app from your device, reinstall the app from the AppStore / PlayStore, and then re-add your account using your email address and your password.

How do I switch between my children?

To switch between your children, open the menu in the app. The current child whose details you are viewing should be pictured at the top with their name listed alongside. Tap on their name. A pop-up window will then appear listing any other children linked to your account. Tap the child whose details you wish to view to switch to them.

How do I make online payments?

Online payments are not handled by the MCAS app/website. For online payments we use Tucasi’s Scopay, and a separate set of login details is required for this. Please contact the academy’s finance office via finance@ossett.accordmat.org and they will be able to issue you with a Scopay account for online payments.
