Communication at Avenor
The Avenor Parents Portal is a platform that aims to provide a single point of access to information of interest to parents.
ENGAGE is the platform through which you can keep in touch with teachers and access your child’s school records – educational content, assessment reports, timetable, and absences.
OPEN APPLY is the platform through which official communication regarding school enrollment and re-enrollment takes place, and where all administrative documents required during the school year are uploaded.
The two platforms have apps that let you use them more easily, directly from your mobile phone.
The Open Apply App can be downloaded from Google Play or the App Store, and the Engage Parent App is a progressive web app that can be installed on your Home Screen by accessing the web version of the Engage Portal directly from your mobile phone. Both apps are accessed with the username and password that each parent has to log into the portals. Here you can view a short installation and usage guide for Engage.
