WHAT IS MCAS?
At Maltby 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 IS MCAS?
- Quick messages regarding your child
- 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

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 to set a password.
Once complete, log in 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 and 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.
If you encounter any difficulties, please contact the Academy and one of our team will be able to support you.
