Al Siraat hosted an online Parent Information session on Continuous Reporting and the launch of SEQTA Parent on Thursday, 27 May 2021.
Kindly access the recording of this important session here to have a good idea of what has been communicated to our school community. You may also find the Q&A segment useful as it addresses queries on "Continuous Reporting" and SEQTA Parent.
With this, SEQTA is now ‘live’ and accessible. We hope that this will lead to meaningful and informative conversation between our teaching staff and parents on students' progress.
