What is it?

  • ClassDojo is a behavior management tool for the classroom. Each student has a profile – complete with their own avatar – to which teachers can assign positive and negative points (or 'dojos') throughout the lesson. The program can be operated by a teacher from their computer or tablet, and each time they award a point an (optional) sound plays to alert the class.

    This information is then recorded on students' profiles so that it can be reviewed throughout the year. Parents also have logins so that they can view their child's achievements from home.

    In 4th grade, students exchange their dojo points for dojo dollars to purchase things each week. For example, students may purchase snacks, pencils, erasers, hand sanitizier, stickers, homework pass, etc. They may also puchase activities such as: eat lunch in the room with the teacher, switch seats with a classmate, or sit on an exercise ball during class.

    *You should have received a classroom code at the beginning of the year to view your child's profile. If you haven't, or need a new one, please let your teacher know!
