Class Dojo
What is Class Dojo?
Class Dojo is a behaviour and communication platform that links parents and school together to celebrate successes and strengthen the supportive network that is around your child. It allows teachers to provide a place to share photos and information about the work that is going on in school. Important dates and other school notices can be shared with parents too.
Communicating in your first language
Class Dojo allows parents to automatically translate messages into their first language. You are able to send your child’s class teacher a quick message and they can reply directly to you. Dojo doesn’t replace the usual methods of reporting pupil absence – you’ll still need to report this through Study Bugs – but, if you have any concerns or need to let the class teacher know anything important, then you can send them a message to let them know.
What is the School Story?
When you connect to your child, you will also see the “School Story” which is a wall of announcements and photos for all parents across school. This might be information about key events coming up; helpful resources; lunch menus; community events or school news.
What is a Class Story?
Once connected, your child’s teacher can share information to all the parents at once class using the Class Story. This might be a PE or Forest School reminder; photos of class work or activities the children taking part in.
What you need to do:
Download the Class Dojo app from your device’s app store.
You will need to setup a parent account using your personal email address.
Please make sure you choose “Parent Account” and that you use your own name, not your child’s name at this stage.
We’ll send you a code so that you can connect your account to your child.
Is there a cost?
No, Class Dojo is free for schools and the parent app is free too.
However, you have the option of giving Class Dojo points at home as part of a home behaviour system, but this is a chargeable service, if you decided to take out a subscription, which you don’t have to, there is a free trial.
Important Note
Don’t forget that, throughout the day, your child’s teacher will be teaching so you are more likely to receive a reply to messages you send after the school day has ended.
Any important notices such as sickess, change to collection or appointments must come through the school office on:
