ClassDojo
Class Dojo is an online learning platform. It allows us as a school to connect to parents/carers through communication features, such as a feed for photos and videos from the school day and messaging that can be translated into more than 35 languages. Classes can be shared with other staff members in school, including school leaders, so that learning can be shared and celebrated. It is free to use (you do not need the paid version) and the app can be downloaded onto your electronic device.
School Story
School Story is where we post letters and whole school news, updates and reminders. Fortnightly, the school newsletter will be available here.
Class Story
Class Story is where individual class teachers share photos, videos, activities and files to share, support and celebrating learning in their class. Teachers will also use this page to send reminders.
Messages
Messaging allows us to communicate with every family in our school, including sending letters and celebration messages. Messaging is also a way to connect directly with your child’s class teacher. Parents/carers should only send messages to class teachers that relate directly to learning. Any messages sent must be in keeping with the school’s vision and ethos.
Across our Federation, we are committed to ensuring the well-being of all staff. We have set quiet hours to remind parents that teachers are unavailable outside of set hours. Staff will only use messaging to acknowledge and respond to or to generic messages in keeping with the school’s vision and values. Some examples are:
- Thank you for sending me your learning – it’s great to see you having lots of fun!
- I am so proud of your learning this week.
- Please remember to bring your glasses to school tomorrow.
- Congratulations on being star of the week, keep up the amazing work!
Ensuring the safety of everybody in our school community is of paramount importance to us. We have a number of policies and procedures that keep staff, children, parent/carers, governors and visitors safe. Prior to using the app, all parents/guardians must read, sign and return our Class Dojo Parent User Agreement. We will never share your child’s full name on Class Dojo. A copy of our Parent User Agreement can be found on our school website and will be sent out to all parents.
Class Dojo must never be used to report a child’s absence from school, a safeguarding concern or to report an issue in school. Queries or requests for support with any problems should be communicated to the school office via telephone or email.
We look forward to developing our communication systems with you further and you being such an important part in your child/ren’s learning.
