Class Dojo

We have now signed up to Class Dojo in line with other schools in Willows Academy Trust. Those of you whose children have come through Sawley Infant & Nursery School will be familiar with this communication platform.

ClassDojo allows you to see why your child has received rewards in school. The ‘Class Story’ area allows teachers to post photos, text and videos which share and celebrate the children’s learning in class. Children can also share home learning on the portfolio feature.

ClassDojo is a secure site which requires a password for access. As a parent/carer, only you will be able to see your child’s ‘dojos’ and the reason for rewards.  The ‘class story’ is only accessible to parents of children in your child’s class. The portfolio posts are only seen by each individual family

 

As a parent/carer you will be able to view your child’s rewards, portfolio and class story, and to ‘like’ and ‘comment’ on individual posts. We encourage you to use the class story to share your positive thoughts and feelings towards your child’s learning. This is a quick and easy process and as soon as you are set up, children can sign in and personalise their avatar.

 

ClassDojo has a facility to privately message your child’s teacher. We have used previously used staff’s individual emails to communicate with parents/carers. Going forward, we would ask that parents/carers now use the private messaging facility within the Class Dojo platform. Teachers will monitor this on a routine basis, although this may not be daily and we still advise contacting school directly for any urgent matters.

We look forward to sharing your child’s learning experiences with you through the app. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

 

Please be aware that we expect all comments to be respectful. Any inappropriate comments will be deleted and access may be removed.
