MCAS - MyChildAtSchool Parent App New UI
June 2024 New UI (User Interface)
The MCAS Parent App has been updated with a new UI that will provide parents with an improved user experience. Please note, that we are implementing a phased release of the new UI and rolling it out incrementally to our users.
Important: Parents will need to update to the latest version of the app unless they have auto-updates enabled for all apps on their phone settings.
The Parent App has a new look and feel, and users will only see a few minor updates to the functionality.
- Click here to access the Quick Guide with How To guides for the most used features.
- Alternatively, go to the Help Centre to see all of the How To guides.
Note: Parental access to the modules mentioned in this guide will be dependent on the school enabling them in the Parent App.
What’s new?
- The Parent App has a new central dashboard My Child which replaces the side menu.
- Parents will now Add Dinner Money in the Dinner module.
- A new Teacher module has been added where, if enabled by the school, parents will be able to message teachers.
- Parents can now filter transactions by payment method.
- Parents will be able to save addresses to payment cards. The address will be saved to the local device and not the MIS.
- Parents will delete payment cards in the new Settings screen; they will no longer be able to delete payment cards from the Basket.
- Basket in the banner on the old UI has moved to the individual modules where online payments can be made e.g., Store, Clubs, Trips, Wraparound Care and Dinner.
- Accounts and Profile in the banner on the old UI have moved to the new Settings screen.
