To ensure the safety of our students and their families, and the privacy of their information, only carers who have mobile numbers registered with the school will, initially, be able to create accounts in the Westfields Sports Family Portal. If you are already being sent SMS messages regarding absences or you were sent an SMS inviting you to sign up to the Family Portal then that mobile is authorised.

- To create an account you need to enter a mobile number that is authorised to receive SMS Absence messages from the school.
- Later this year our family portal may contain personal information such as the names, classes, absence summary and reporting information for the children of your family who attend our school and so we require an already authorised mobile number to verify your identity during the account creation process.
- You should receive the code within a minute or two.
- Once you receive the code, enter the code and click Verify. [Image 3]
- If you have entered the code correctly then you will be taken to the page where you create your account. [Image 4]
