Class Dojo
Worthington Primary School use ClassDojo to connect with families and our school community.
What is Class Dojo?
ClassDojo is a communication platform that connects teachers with children and parents securely.
Class Dojo will allow us to create an online classroom community.
Staff use Class Dojo to communicate with parents / carers and share photographs, videos and updates of the children’s learning. It is also used to set a calendar of events and reminders.
Once registered, you will be able to see the school story and your child’s class page.
Here you will receive letters and information regarding events, learning, trips etc in one place.
We’d like families to join us and sign up for ClassDojo! You can use it on any device: it is a simple,
free mobile app for iOS or Android, and can also be used from a computer at www.classdojo.com.
As parents or carers, you will receive a unique website link through your email. You will be asked to sign up using an email address and to create a password before you select your child from the class list.
When you are connected, you will be able to access your own child’s online portfolio and any
messages or tasks the teacher shares on the class or school page. Furthermore, the messaging
system will allow a secure and private means of communication between the teacher and
parent/carer.
