Connect with SBS on ClassDojo
You can stay connected with the latest events and news via Class Dojo. Get the free app on your mobile and instantly communicate with the class. Each child will have a secure online portfolio of work that you can view.
How to connect with your child’s class:
Your child’s teachers will need to invite you to join their class. They can either invite you by text, email, or send home a parent code. You can then see the story of your child’s day. You can see all of your child’s feedback from teachers, hear important announcements and updates, and see photos and videos from the class.
Parents can use any iOS device, Android device, Kindle Fire, or computer to connect. You can also read all Class Story posts in your preferred language instantly. All of your child’s information is kept safe on ClassDojo. Only they, their teachers, and you as their parents can see their information. If you have a code from your child, you can use a computer to join from Dojo.com. Alternatively, download the app for your mobile.
Curriculum
Our curriculum follows the New Zealand National Curriculum, which forms the basis of the school’s programme of work. Go to the Ministry of Education’s website www.minedu.govt.nz for further information regarding New Zealand’s Education requirements.
Dental Clinic
A Dental Therapist is based at the school periodically during the year and can be contacted during school hours on 4246046. When the Dental Therapist is not at Stanmore Bay School, contact the office for advice.
Donations (Voluntary)
The Board of Trustees have set donations for 2018 as follows; $140 per child (reduced to $120 if paid in term 1) or $160 for 2 children (reduced to $140 if paid in term 1) and $180.00 for 3 or more children (reduced to $160 if paid in term 1). Payments can be made on Kindo or by cheque, cash, eftpos or automatic payment. Although school donations are voluntary this money helps us to purchase computer equipment, iPads, netbooks (we are not a BYOD school); have specialist staff & teacher aides for the classrooms. Did you know you can claim this donation on your tax return?
