Class Dojo is an app and a website that schools use to keep in contact with parents/carers. Parents/carers will be invited to join their child's class page when they begin the academic year.
At St Paul's we use 'Class Dojo' for a number of purposes. Each class within school is set up with its own class page. Within the class page, each child has their own avatar linked to them and their parent/carer.
- Children are awarded points throughout the school day for behaviour, learning, demonstrating our school values, kindness and effort. When a child reaches a certain number of points (10 in reception, 30 in KS1), they are able to choose a new avatar character and start their points at 0 again. The child also receives a certificate to take home, so that their achievements and efforts can be celebrated with their families.
- Class Dojo has a 'message' feature, which allows families and staff to connect and share information. Staff may contact parents/carers via the messaging system about any first aid incidents, behaviour and any other day to day information.
- Class Dojo also has a 'Class Story' page, where staff can post home learning, upcoming events, reminders, letters and more information.
- 'Portfolios' can be used by children/parents/carers to share photos/videos/evidence of any home learning too.
