  Dear Parents/Carers,

   

  IMPORTANT INFORMATION RE-DOJO

   

  Why we use Dojo?

  Dojo is the school method of contact with parents/carers with messages regarding the timetable of the day, messages regarding trips, school calendar information and messages pertinent to your child’s specific class e.g. Don’t forget your swimming kit. It’s Shw Mae day tomorrow. Remember Inset day on 27/10/23 etc. etc. It is meant to aid and support the running of the classes’ day-to-day activities, keeping everyone in the loop and well informed.

   

  Worries and concerns

  Dojo is not the platform for parents/carers to express concerns or worries. Any requests for meetings with class teachers or if you have any queries or concerns, please contact the school office and they will organise a suitable time for you to meet with the class teacher.

   

  Urgent Information

  Please remember to contact the school office to pass on any urgent information. Please do not use Dojo. Class teachers check their messages at the beginning (8.30am) and end of the day (3.30pm) and something important may be missed.

   

  Open Door Policy

  We run an “open door policy”. This means that we will endeavour to speak to parent/carers if you have any queries or concerns, as soon as we possibly can and frequently without the need of you making an appointment. Face to face meetings are always the most productive and we ask if you have any concerns to contact the school office and we will do all we can to help sort out any issues and provide relevant support if needed.

   

   

  Thank you for your support with this matter.

  Kind regards

  Mrs Bev Phillips

  Head Teacher

  Sketty Primary
