At St. John's, we use Class Dojo to share what we have been doing and learning at school. This is updated at least every week by the class teachers. Useful messages are often shared via Class Dojo.
We also use Class Dojo as a means of communication between teachers and parents/carers. If you are new to the school, speak to your child's class teacher about getting set up.
Below are some helpful step-by-step guides for using Class Dojo
Click here to visit the Class Dojo Helpdesk
1. Click on the image above or the following link to be taken to the Class Dojo website:
www.classdojo.com
2. On the home screen you will see the following buttons: Teacher | Parent | Student | School leader.
Please select the 'Student' button to be redirected to the student access page
3. There are two main ways to sign in:
Option 1: Use the QR code that would have been sent to you by your child's class teacher (this can be sent again upon request)
Option 2: Enter a username and password which can be found under the 'Have a username? Log in here' link.
4. You're now connected! From your account, you can:
- Select the “Portfolios” tab, then look underneath the “To Do” heading to respond to Activities assigned by your teacher and submit them for approval in your Portfolio
- From the same tab, look underneath the “My Portfolio” heading and press the “+” button to submit a new Portfolio post or view any previously approved posts
- Select the “Story” tab, then select the pencil button near your current monster to change it
- From the same tab, select the "View (student)'s report" button to see your report for this week
1 . Download the free Class Dojo app from the App Store (Apple/ iOS products) or the Google Play Store (Android products)
2. Open the app from your smart device and select 'I'm a student' from the menu. At this point the app will ask you to enable your camera to scan the QR code which you would have received from your child's class teacher.
Alternatively, you can select 'I don't have a QR code' and this will take you to a new page asking for your child's 'student code'. Again, this code would have been sent by your child's class teacher.
If you have not received this information or have misplaced it, please let us know and we'll get it resent to you.
3. You're now connected! From your account, you can:
- Tap on the 'customise your monster' (or gear in the top right corner on Andoid devices), then tap the "Customize your monster" button to change your monster
- Tap on the "View (student)'s report" button to see your report for this week
- Underneath the “To Do” heading, respond to Activities assigned by your teacher and submit them for approval in your Portfolio
