ClassDojo

This year, the third grade teachers are trying a new classroom management tool called ClassDojo. ClassDojo is a web based program which allows teachers to track students’ behaviors (positive AND negative) easily and efficiently. The program is based on points, and students can be given positive points for things like being on task, being respectful, participating, or working hard. On the other hand, points can be taken away if students are off task, talking out, or unprepared. Our goal is to fully implement the program right away, but please bear with us as we are learning as we go! 

Today your child should have brought home a sheet with information about ClassDojo and the parent access code. With this code, you can log on to the website. On the site, you are able to see how many points your student has, which positive behaviors were noted, and which negative behaviors they need to work on. This will also coincide with our Super Improver Wall and they will be able to "cash-in" points for stars to earn their Super Improver dog tags.

One of the greatest features of ClassDojo is that it allows us to send parents a “behavior and skills report”. All you need to do is use the parent access code to get signed up. Our hope is that this will help you better understand the progress of your student’s behavior on a week-to-week basis.
