Staying Connected
Here at DCS we love to keep parents informed about things at school. This is done six ways:
- Our DCS School app
- Our Schoolbox website platform
- Our weekly online school newsletter
- Private year level Facebook groups
- Connection and email discussion with your child's classroom teachers
- Information from your child shared to home
The DCS App provides the best way to have a heads up and keep informed about current events and what is coming up. Every current parent or carer is encouraged to have this on their personal device, to become familiar with how it works and to check it on a regular basis (at least weekly). You can even set it up so that you receive notifications (or do not set them up if that is your preference) when something is added. The information below can assist you with setting up the app on your phone. You will need you parent Schoolbox login details to save into the app so you do not need to login each time you open the App on your device.
As well as providing a quick link to Schoolbox news items, the DCS App has quick links to your child's timetable, classes, the school calendar, and a very quick and easy way to inform the school should your child be absent.
If you need help with connecting into the app, have a question and you do not know who to ask, need support or prayer, our DCS Community connection person is Jasmin Thompson. Jasmin is available and very happy to assist from Wednesday-Friday.
Our prayer is to be a community and have people connected. The best way to be in community is to be informed and receive news and information to help connect you into our community.
