We believe that parent-school partnerships are an integral part of education. Parents are encouraged to share their professions, expertise, and hobbies with a classroom or grade level, and also welcome to participate in activities such as sports day, educational trips, after-school activities, being a room parent, and holding fundraising events. In DIIS, the environment is welcoming for all and opportunities for community building, connecting our families, faculty, and other community members will be available.

We understand your desire to view live classes online. At the moment, we do not offer the option for parents to observe live online classes. However, we do provide alternative means for you to stay informed about your child’s education. We suggest utilizing tools like Seesaw or Google Classroom to view classwork, assignments, and updates from the teacher. This will give you an understanding of what your child is learning and a way to communicate with the teacher about your child’s progress. Additionally, we will inform you of open days when you are welcome to come and observe the classes in person.

At DIIS, we understand that some students may struggle with organization and care for their belongings. For students who struggle with keeping track of their belongings, we suggest they place a sticky note or a special sign on their items to help them identify them. Parents are also encouraged to assist in this process by adding a unique identifier or their child’s name to their child’s belongings.

The Social Emotional Learning (SEL) program at DIIS is designed to help students develop a range of social and emotional skills that are essential for success in school and in life. The program focuses on teaching students how to manage their emotions, build positive relationships, set and achieve goals, and make responsible decisions. Through a variety of activities and lessons, students will learn how to recognize and express their feelings, develop empathy for others, and resolve conflicts effectively. They will also learn how to work cooperatively with others, communicate effectively, and make responsible decisions. By participating in the SEL program, your child will gain the skills they need to build strong, positive relationships with others and navigate the social challenges they may encounter in their daily life.

At DIIS, we have high expectations for our students when it comes to homework. We believe that homework plays a crucial role in reinforcing concepts and skills learned in class, and in developing good study habits. We expect our students to complete their homework assignments on time and to the best of their ability. Additionally, we encourage students to read a minimum of 30 minutes every day to develop reading habits. We also expect parents to provide a conducive environment for their child to complete homework, and to check in with their child to ensure that assignments are being completed. Our teachers will provide clear instructions and guidelines for homework assignments, and will be available to help students if they have any questions or difficulties. Overall, our expectation is that students take responsibility for their own learning and actively engage in the homework process.
