are also posted on Daymap for direct and easy access. Various school publications such as newsletters, student reports, Individual learning plans etc. Parents can send a note/email directly to teachers/year level managers, and hence work more closely in managing student needs and outcomes. Year level manager follow-ups as well as behavioural information is also recorded. Parents can access information about homework set by teachers. This information can be used by teachers, year level managers and parents to achieve better outcomes for students.Īny communication with parents is recorded on Daymap in the form of Student Notes. on Daymap, which can be accessed by students and parents, assisting with the learning progress and assignment completion by due date. Teachers post assignments, resources, due dates etc. Inaccuracies in attendance management can be corrected easily.Īpart from the attendance features available in Daymap, a number of collaborative tools are available for recording information about student welfare and learning progress. Where parent explanation for absence is received after the period of absence, the information gets updated on Daymap as soon as information is received by Student services/teachers. Absences pre-recorded by attendance administrators, based on prior parent information will result in the student being pre-marked on the class roll when the teacher goes to mark it. A key feature is the ability for parents to check their child's attendance for each lesson by accessing the parent portal during the school day. This information is stored in the Daymap database and can be viewed and verified by staff, students and parents. Teachers mark the rolls for each subject lesson. Daymap Parent Portal aims at greatly enhanced communication between the school and parents.
Parents can also gain access online via the Daymap Connect Parent Portal.
It is accessible by teachers and students both on school computers and online from outside schoo0l. Daymap is installed locally on our school’s server. Then I can just move a time block to now and go ahead and work on tasks that were possibly scheduled for another hour.Daymap is a web based system which integrates very closely with attendance administration, daily timetable, curriculum assignments and student welfare monitoring. I can also have an appointment cancelled. I still have some structure with the time blocks but I still have freedom to move the time blocks to another hour or day as needed. I also encounter unexpected events that can ruin my carefully planned day. It motivates me to work a little faster and instead of taking a leisurely pace. If it takes longer, then I try to fit the task into my remaining time block. If it is shorter, I can quickly go on to the next task. But it sometimes takes longer or shorter. I have a general idea of how long a task can take. So, instead of “scheduling tasks”, how about scheduling time blocks, choose three to five tasks, and work on those? The index card forces me to look at just those tasks. It’s too tempting for me to open OmniFocus and scan for 10 minutes to find something I’m in the mood for. I’ll scan OmniFocus for three to five things to focus on and write those down on an index card. I’ll usually put 30 minutes blocks of focus time. I usually just block out times in my day and run away (to a random coffee shop or elsewhere) from the office so that I’m unavailable. I’m not really a fan of scheduling specific tasks. I use the start date to make it appear on my perspectives showing available tasks.
