Class Dojo is a fabulous communication tool that helps connect our classroom with your home. At the beginning of the school year, I encourage all parents to download the app to your cell phone with your child’s provided code and turn on the notification settings (you can select silent notifications). With this system, I can easily text you important messages for quick responses. This is great for missing lunches, questions about transportation and so much more! Although I can’t promise I will respond to late night questions, I have been known to do so if you text me first! It’s great having an easy 2-way communication system! I also love sending you photos of your child at school. Class Dojo also provides a "Class Story" feature that is like Facebook, but it is private for just our class. The feature lets me share what we are doing in the classroom including photos and videos. Class Dojo allows students to earn points for great work habits and conduct too. Also, when your child logs on, he/she can create their very own unique monster avatar – fun! If you do not have access to technology, just let me know and I will work out an alternative solution. This system will only work effectively if it is readily available to you on your phone. I can’t wait to start communicating with you!
