Daventry Hill School
Home-School Communication
There are a number of ways to contact the school.
Class Dojo
Class Dojo is a school communication platform that teachers and families use every day to communicate and share what is being learnt in the classroom and at home through photos and videos. Messages can be automatically translated, making them accessible for families who speak different languages.
Within Class Dojo there are three main areas:
Daventry Hill School Story
This can be seen by all parents/carers and all staff that are members of Class Dojo in the whole school community.
Class Story
This can be seen by parents who have pupils in that class, the class staff, the pastoral team and the admin team.
Portfolio Posts
This can only be seen by the associated parents/carers of the child, the class staff, the pastoral team and the admin team.
📢 Important Information About Messaging Staff on Class Dojo
Please be aware that if you send a message to a staff member who is not currently working, they will not see it until they are in school next. Other staff members are also unable to view messages sent to individual teachers.
Teachers are asked to check Class Dojo messages at the start and end of the school day. They are not expected to respond outside their working hours.
Class Dojo is used to:
- Share school updates
- Provide class information
- Communicate with parents
📞 For anything urgent or time-sensitive—such as reporting an absence—please call the school office directly on 01327 703135.
