ClassDojo at LIA

Below is a short explanation of how LIA will use ClassDojo and frequently asked questions.

Currently, at LIA we are using ClassDojo as a platform mainly to connect Teachers with Parents. We will also be assigning homework to children from nursery to year 4, and expecting the homework to be handed in but this will be done through the parents account as explained below.

The Stories/Home tab (usually the first page displayed after logging into ClassDojo) will show stories from your child/rens class. Whole school updates will also be displayed here. Teachers will upload any homework/announcements in their class story so you may need to scroll a little to find all the work assigned by your child/rens teacher.

To hand in any work your child/ren has done, please message the child’s teacher through the messages tab. The teacher will then be able to give any feedback.

ClassDojo does have the functionality of student accounts, and the work being assigned directly to students. However, currently, we are not be using this feature.

At least one parent of each child will have received an Email invite to ClassDojo addressed from:
parent@classdojo.com

In this Email, you will find a link similar to:
https://classdojo.com/P2MS5VG**

To successfully add the child to your account:

  • Sign out of ClassDojo (if you had already signed in)
  • Follow the link that was sent to your Email address
  • You will now be able to create an account. (If you already have an account you can log in instead)
  • (It is not necessary to sign up with the Email address the invite was sent to)

If you’d rather not log out of ClassDojo or you’re having trouble with the method above, you can use the code to add your child (Mobile users will see the “Add Child” option in the “Kids” tab. Desktop users will see the option to “Add a child” along the left side of the screen under the home tab). The code is everything past ” .com/ ” in the invite link.

Eg:
Link: https://classdojo.com/P2MS5VG**
Code: P2MS5VG**

The code is unique to each child and can be used as many times as needed. The code can also be shared with other family members so that they can add the child to their accounts as well.

If you are still having trouble you may contact the admin team and we can provide the code for you.

Note: Please do not try to add a child by using the “Find Teacher” feature. It’s not practical to have to manually approve each parent individually.

Parents that have more than one child at LIA may find only 1 child in their accounts even after following the link for the second child.

In this case please log out of ClassDojo and then follow the link. You should then log back into ClassDojo. (Be sure not to make a new account)
