Top ClassDojo for Districts Questions
Learn how the #1 communication app chosen by teachers is now a whole-district solution with built-in oversight and control.
Is ClassDojo for Districts really free forever?
Yes, ClassDojo is always free for schools, teachers, and now districts. Our business model relies on an optional paid subscription model that offers extra ways to engage, which approximately 5% of families opt into. We also offer DojoTutor, our paid online tutoring program for kids pre-k to 9th grade.
Is ClassDojo really for every grade?
It is! You have access to an appropriate version of the app for every age group, including Middle School and High School modes which focus more on the needs of older students. These modes offer an aged-up look and feel, as well nightly rostering updates for classes, kids, and teachers.
Can I manage my schools through rostering?
Yes. We support integrating with leading Student Information Systems (SIS). This saves you and your schools time, with nightly updates to ensure information is current with your SIS. And like the rest of ClassDojo, this service is free for district partners.
Can I secure my district with SSO?
Yes, SSO (single sign-on) is offered to easily control access and keep your data secure. Your entire district can be set up with one-step signup and sign-on, including through Google and Microsoft accounts.
How do you compare to alternatives?
ClassDojo fosters deeper engagement between teachers and families, with seamless sharing of photos, videos, and updates in Class and School Stories. Points encourage positive behavior across every school, aligned with your unique core values or existing PBIS program. And, ClassDojo is 100% free.
Does ClassDojo monetize student data?
No, we never share student information with anyone. We never share your information with advertisers or marketers. Everything on ClassDojo – from classroom photos and videos teachers share with families to school announcements and important documents – stays completely private. Our business model relies on an optional paid subscription that offers extra ways to engage, which approximate 5% of families opt into. We also offer Dojo Tutor, our paid online tutoring program for kids pre-k to 3rd grade.
Do administrators have access to communication records?
Yes, ClassDojo helps you simplify compliance tasks with quick, secure access to communication records. Authorized administrators can review the complete message history of any parent or staff member across the district, ensuring transparency and streamlining compliance with legal requirements. Privacy and security is at the forefront of everything we do, so along with administrator verification, we use industry-leading encryption both during information transfer and storage to ensure information is only accessed by those who need it.
Is ClassDojo different for students in grades 6-12?
Middle school and high school modes offer an aged-up look and feel, as well as added features such as nightly rostering updates for classes, kids, and teachers.
Do families need to download an app to use ClassDojo?
While we do recommend mobile download for the best communication and product experience, families can also access ClassDojo on any computer through the website.
