DCS Schoolbox App
To keep you informed of school news and information, Schoolbox is the main source of communication for DCS and to make this simpler we now have ‘One App’ through Schoolbox as our school app. This is the main way for you to receive communication from school - through DCS Schoolbox. (Please note the other DCS app which has been in use in the past from the App Store will no longer be in use. Schoolbox now allows us to have use of its own app, downloaded directly to our device).
You will require your parent ‘Schoolbox’ username (this is usually the letter P or S followed by numbers) and then your Schoolbox password. For new families you will have received this information via email by our IT department.
Every parent and user will be required to download the new Schoolbox App on their device as we have rolled them together into one 'Application' commencing 2025.
Once you have logged into Schoolbox, follow the steps below to install the new Schoolbox app on your phone, or device, giving you easy access to news (including from teachers), learning moments, timetables, communication forms and school events.
Instructions to install the new app are included below. Please call by the main office if you require any assistance.
