Students love using ClassDojo because it gives them more ownership of what they are doing in class. Students can't view other students' point totals, message with other students, or message with teachers. 1.
ClassDojo Messaging is a wonderful, instant, and safe way for a teacher and a parent to privately communicate with each other. All messages are sent within the ClassDojo service, are encrypted (sent over HTTPS using 128-bit TLS), and do not employ SMS.
ClassDojo gets character education wrong.ClassDojo judges and labels students by ranking and sorting them and distracts even well-intentioned adults from providing children with the feedback and the guidance they need to learn.
Our Read Receipts feature is for you only - parents cannot see if or when you've read their messages.
First, ClassDojo is always free for families to use, and to stay connected to their school community. Families can try it with a seven-day free trial before subscribing and can cancel at any time. Second, we are always improving and adding to ClassDojo based on your feedback.
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.
