Principal Note

A big Dartmoor welcome back to students, staff and community. I

hope families enjoyed their holidays and that you are all refreshed

and ready for a fantastic 2021 school year.

A special welcome to our new Foundation students Shikara Young,

Ava Bentley and Nolan Bull, who have started school and settled in

extremely well into school life.

Our main avenues of communication will be through our fortnightly

Newsletter covering all up and coming events along with prompts on

our Facebook Page and text messages for more urgent notifications.

We are all looking forward to a wonderful year ahead and we hope

you all are too!

2021 Staff

Communication

At Dartmoor we pride ourselves on being approachable.

The best time to talk to staff is either before or after

school (if it is a quick chat) otherwise more lengthy meet-

ings with teachers need to be made as an appointment

at a suitable time.

Teachers should be the first point of contact as far as

communication goes regarding your children and any

ongoing and persistent issues can be discussed through

a scheduled meeting with the Principal.

Change of details

If you moved during the

holidays or changed

your phone number or

even started a new job,

PLEASE update these

details at the office.

It is essential we are

able to contact you in

case of an emergency

with your child.

Toys and special things at school.

Dartmoor PS does not encourage students to

bring new and special toys to school.

Why?

They could get lost or broken or they can cause

some issues between students. We are very

lucky at this school to have to lots of different re-

sources, games and equipment for the students

to use.

The school is not responsible for any item brought

to school from home if it becomes lost or bro-

ken. Thank you for your support with this.

Foundation Students 2021

Just a reminder for the first 4

weeks of Term 1, Foundation

School Reminders

If a student is going to be LATE or ABSENT please text or call

the school to inform us why. If we haven't heard from you by

11am we will contact you during the day.

Students are expected to be at school by 8:50am every day,

this gives them enough time to organise their work station

before class starts.
