Communication Update: ClassDojo

We are excited to share that our teachers will be using ClassDojo this year to keep you connected with your child’s learning and classroom activities!

ClassDojo is a wonderful tool that allows teachers to share photos, videos, and important announcements instantly. It also provides a private messaging feature for quick check-ins between home and school.

Important Note on Cost

While the app may occasionally offer a paid subscription called "ClassDojo Plus," please know that this is entirely optional. * The free version is all you need. * All school-led communication, classroom stories, and messaging are 100% free for families.

  • You do not need to upgrade or pay a subscription fee to stay fully connected with your child's teacher and school updates.

We look forward to sharing all the amazing things happening in our classrooms with you!

Getting Started

  1. Download the ClassDojo app on any iOS or Android device.

  2. Log in using the invite code provided by your child’s teacher or link sent Jan 7.

  3. Turn on notifications so you never miss an update!

Important News

-Don't get caught off-guard. Now is the time to start dressing in layers to easily adjust to temperature swings and protect against the cold.

-Remember to bring your jackets, coats, gloves, and hats each day for recess. We will go outside if the windchill is above 25.

- Our doors do not open until 7:45am. Please drop off your child/ren after this time.

Drop Off/Pick Up

Pull all the way to the curb to pick up your child. This keeps the lane clear for other cars. DO not drop your child off in the middle of the street.

If you park across the street or on a side street, you must walk across the street to meet your child. DO NOT have your child walk across the street alone.

Remember that the church parking lot is available if the street out back is full.

Be respectful of our neighbors. Do not block their driveways or mailboxes.

Always follow all traffic laws. Drive slowly, obey all signs, do NOT stop in the middle of the street, and be aware of crossing guards.
