Students - what you should do:

• Log on to Dojo and Purple Mash at least twice a day, at 08:50am and 1:00pm, to check for messages from teachers and make sure you understand what work you need to complete. You can do this by clicking https://www.purplemash.com/login/ and search Diamond Hall Junior Academy and https://student.classdojo.com/
• Follow the timetable above, sticking as far as possible to the times specified.
• Complete all work to the best of your ability and as neatly as possible. Use the exercise book provided where appropriate.
• Communicate with teachers by Dojo during school hours if you are not sure what to do. Wherever possible, teachers will respond promptly to queries.

Parents / carers – what you can do:

• Provide a quiet space for your child to work in.
• Make sure your child follows the timetable outlined above.
• Encourage your child to complete all work to the best of their ability and as neatly as possible.
• Ask your child about the work they are doing and help them where you can; a great way of doing this is by testing them on what they have learned.
• Keep your child’s login details safe and remind them of them where necessary.
