School News and Communication
As well as our school newsletter, links to PDFs about recent camps, classroom activities etc will be published on this page when they are available.
Guthridge School Newsletter
The Guthridge News is produced each Friday as a school community newsletter and is distributed to all families electronically. It is our practice to send home newsletters and other general notices with the eldest child of each family.
The newsletter contains a school program calendar, notices about school activities and programs, samples of student work, notices of meetings, general school information, staff, parent club and community contributions, photos and community notices. Please check your child's bag for newsletters and other notes regularly. Our weekly newsletter can also be downloaded from our website or viewed on Flexischools or Class Dojo.

School Communication Apps
The Flexischools app is a fantastic way of instantly communicating with our school families to let them know of any up and coming events. To get it on your mobile Apple or Android device, download Flexischools from the App store using your smart phone, ipad or tablet.
Flexischools is easy to use! For written instructions on how to download and use the Flexischools app on your device, click here.
The majority of messages sent through from the school will be via the ‘Whole School’ group, therefore ensure that you link up with this.
However, you can also select each year level group – Foundation, Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3/4, Grade 4/5 and Grade 5/6, to receive group specific newsfeeds and reminders.
If you would like your device to beep and a message to appear instantly on the screen when something is sent through from the school, it is VITAL that when you download the app, when asked whether you want to receive PUSH NOTIFICATIONS that you answer YES. If you answer NO, the message will still come into the app, but without the notifications. Also ensure that in your device settings, notifications are enabled.
If you do not have a smartphone you can view the Guthridge Primary School Flexischools App feed by clicking here.
Our school also uses the free Smartphone App, Class Dojo, to communicate with families. This will require you to sign up with your email address via your child’s teacher. Once signed up you can request a code from the school to access communications.
You can see feedback from teachers, hear important announcements, and see photos and more! Parents can use any iOS device, Android device, Kindle Fire, or computer to connect!
