Arbor Parent Portal and App

School Communications

At Ellis Guilford School, all school electronic communications are sent to parents/carers through the Arbor Parent App and email only. We do not use text messaging due to the increasing costs to the school.

Please ensure you can log into your Arbor account and have turned on notifications to enable alerts for all your school messages including detention notices and attendance notices.
