### "ClassDojo is Top Tier for busy parents"

March 27, 2025

4.0

ClassDojo makes communication with multiple teachers seamless and simple! Features are awesome for busy parents and teachers.

Pros

My kids have used ClassDojo since kindergarten (a total of 5 years). I appreciate that ClassDojo is geared towards parent but Kids seem to love it as well. With the app you can chat privately with multiple teachers. You also has a class feed where you can see all of the activities/pictures the teacher has uploaded. The class feed really brings the parents together! I love how there is a point system as well. This feature really helped my son with some behavioral issues in 1st grade.

Cons

My only complaint with Class Dojo is that there is a upgraded version you can pay for. I believe with it being an educational app the school recommends they should maybe cover the cost.

### "Kids loves it!"

October 31, 2025

5.0

Pros

First, i love that my nephew and nice love it. They use it to do their assignments given to them by school. I like that it is kid friendly

Cons

The only issue i have is that sometimes the lessons are not well explained for the kids. Sometimes they need an adult and even I as an adult sometimes struggle to understand the expectations of the work or assignment.

### "Amazing Software for Educators. "

September 16, 2024

5.0

My overall experience with ClassDojo is positive. It's one of the best programs that I have ever used as a teacher. It helps parents and teachers to stay in contact throughout the day. It helps motivate students to work to their full potential.

Pros

ClassDojo is one of the best software teachers have available for their classrooms. Every school district should have this integrated. I like most that I can keep parents informed about their students throughout the day. I love that I can upload pictures of the students working on assignments. I have noticed that parents love being able to see what we are doing for the day. I also like that parents can participate by giving their children points for doing activities around the house. It does not have to be things for school but things like going to bed, cleaning up toys, or eating dinner.

Cons

Absolutely nothing. I can not think of one negative thing to say about ClassDojo.

### "Great for Parents!"

September 30, 2024

5.0

My overall experience with ClassDojo has been great. It helps me keep track of what my daughter is doing in her classroom.

Pros

ClassDojo is the perfect application for parents and teachers to interact. Teachers can easily give parents updates on how their child is progressing in class. Teachers can upload pictures of the students, they can keep track of assignments, and they can give students points for doing activities around the classroom and at home. My child is in elementary school and her teacher has ClassDojo. Every day my daughter wants me to check how many points she received each day. It feels like a game for them. I like that, as a parent, I can give her points for brushing her teeth, eating all her food, and going to bed each night. ClassDojo helps motivate my daughter to do well in everything she does.

Cons

The only con would be you need to pay for a subscription to get all of the bells and whistles.

May 30, 2024

ClassDojo has been really helpful for us as busy parents. This is where we communicate with teachers and the school. We look into classdojo for school announcements, too.

Pros

Very user friendly. It gives us a way to communicate to the teachers either privately or in a group.

Cons

You have to purchase so you can save photos.

May 17, 2024

5.0

Pros

Oh ClassDojo, The app that blew up during covid-19. Parents were scrambling to figure out how to use the newest "learning" process at HOME! We figure it out with the great help of the school and the tech support of Classdojo. they truly are remarkable people.

Cons

When you would have to submit a "ticket" it could take a while to get to. At first, the app closed out and froze a lot but it was quickly figured out. We have come to love it.

Pros

I like that I can easily see the posts from the teacher each day in my son's class and view what they worked on for the day. I also like being able to receive pictures and video of him when they share.

Cons

I wish there was more functionality used to contact other parents for school party organization and such.

### "My Childrens School Experience at my fingertips"

November 6, 2023

5.0

Overall ClassDojo is the best teacher messaging app available, as I've said we've used 2 other apps and they were clunky and not as user-friendly as ClassDojo.

Pros

I like that in ClassDojo my sons teacher has the ability to message myself and their mother at that same time and we can have a group chat. We get information about homework, classwork, and any issues that are arising at school. We get messages from the principal and support staff too about school events and the level of communication is unmatched. We were using a couple of other apps previously and they don't compare with the ease of use of ClassDojo. The kids even get their own user interface and experience. My children are too young for this feature but not for long.

Cons

There is a free version, which we use currently but getting setup can be challenging especially when the teacher doesn't share the correct codes.. You can't just type the teachers name to get added you have to have their invite code. It's good for security but somewhat inconvenient.

### "Mejor que classroom para Pre escolar y primaria"

October 26, 2020

5.0

He apoyado a varios colegios desde que inicio la pandemia en la utilización de Class Dojo, los maestros que no querían hacer un esfuerzo por aprender otra plataforma se inclinaban por Classroom, por ser lo más cómodo para ellos, sin embargo al final de cuentas, los papás experimentaban descontento por qué al término del día, eran ellos los que terminaban tomado fotos de los trabajos de sus hijos, escaneando, subiendo archivos para el classroom del maestro. Class Dojo es diferente, cuando el profesor o tutor deja una tarea, en la misma tarea tiene la opción de que el alumno responda, ya sea con foto, con texto, con video, con archivo...directamente desde la actividad en cuestión. Esto supone un ligero tiempo más dedicado por parte de los profesores, sin embargo significa menos tiempo perdido por parte de los papás en subir los archivos de sus hijos. Los papás reciben una cuenta de tutor con lo cual pueden monitorear el avance de sus hijos y la entrega de tareas, esto hacia que los papás se involucraran más. Al final se sintieron agradecidos con los maestros por respetar sus tiempos, tener mayor control y hacer clases dinámicas para sus hijos. En el caso de algunos papás perezosos que generaban excusas para no estar monitoreando a sus hijos, al final terminaban participando activamente. ClassDojo es más divertido para las clases que classroom, por mucho. Promueve de forma natural la participación activa de los pequeños y de los papás.

Pros

Es extremadamente atractivo para los niños. Involucras a los papás de forma voluntaria. Al dejar actividades o tareas los niños en la misma tarea pueden responder sin necesidad de que los papás tengan que hacer malabares para entregar, tomar fotos, subirlas y enviarlas a los maestros. Facilita la interacción entre el maestro, el alumno y los papás. Los papás agradecen al final que no pierden tiempo asistiendo a sus hijos en la entrega de tareas o trabajos, y lo aprovechas en sus labores.

Cons

A veces cuesta un poco de trabajo que una personas: maestro o tutor empiece a utilizar Class dojo. Y algunos papás son perezosos para aprender algo nuevo.

Reason for choosing ClassDojo

Por ser más dinámico para las secciones -niveles- de pre escolar y primaria.

### "Great way to stay connected to your child's teacher"

August 13, 2021

5.0

I am grateful for this software. It has been an amazing experience to be connected with my child and the person caring for him throughout the day. I can not praise the makers of this app enough! Sidenote.. you can use this on desktop as well. I can not always have access to my cell at work for security reasons so when I do not have my phone I use the desktop to check out messages and see what is new at school! :)

Pros

My older son's teacher used this software in the past but at the time my wife mainly used it to connect with the teacher and stay up to date on class information. My youngest son who is special needs just started Kindergarten. Having a special needs child go away from home for the first time was nerve wrecking. The teacher is using Class Dojo and it has really put my mid at ease. The Real time Talk feature is amazing. the teacher can send you a message that you will be notified of via the app or your email and you can respond back immediately. It is received like a text through the app so there is no time delay. She can tell me if he is having a good day or if he is struggling. If there is important class updates the information is on there so we are not hoping a small child manages to bring home a note. There is a free version but for the five or six bucks a month that the Plus version cost it is well worth it. The child can make their own portfolio and as a parent you can reward points for accomplishments. The teacher can upload photos and videos. You just feel like you are a major part of your child's day. There is a cute monster character that my son enjoys. It makes school more fun and he knows mom and dad are participating even if we are not physically there.

Cons

I have not complaints. I am using it daily as we started school here in Florida already for the 2021/2022 school year. I was able to figure out how to use it quickly and I am very pleased. Just this morning we realized my son left without a snack and we messaged the teacher on the app. She immediately responded not to worry that she had extra snacks in the classroom. Peace of mind is priceless although like I said the Plus version is very inexpensive anyway. The teacher did not require anyone to purchase Plus package. Some parents are using the free version. I recommend taking advantage of the extras that come with the paid subscription because there is just a lot of fun things for the kids on there. I just think of it as the cost of school supplies. It just enhances the classroom experience for the child as well as the teacher and family.

### "Works for elementary aged children"

September 25, 2022

3.0

Overall Dojo was a teacher chosen way to communicate with parents regarding any student behaviors, classwork, or forms. It does allow some student functions and private chat features that are imperative to have these days. This platform would not work so well for older students in my opinion and didn't really seem to go above and beyond for a desired long-term communication use.

Pros

I mostly like ClassDojo because my daughter enjoys it. She can't wait to come home from school to see my reaction to any pictures, bulletins or teacher comments. This platform also appeals to my daughter because it allows for her to personally custom a cute avatar as her icon. I like any educational tool that gets my child excited to use it and excited to perform in an exemplary manner at school.

Cons

I least liked ClassDojo's limited functions for non paying users. It doesn't really seem warranted to put money into something that would not deliver premium features. Saving pictures was also another issue that made me less interested in this software. At the end of a school year all student pictures aren't accessible without saving them previously or without a pay account.

### "Incredible and easy to use app for keeping on top of your child's classroom activity"

March 4, 2023

5.0

I am so happy as a user of ClassDojo. Our school uses this app as a tool to keep parents informed of the classroom activity and progress. I would recommend this app to any educational system.

Pros

Love the video aspect, chat and messaging options, activity tracker and positive encouragement options with the point system. Easy to use and great graphics.

Cons

Notifications are sometimes overwhelming when the weekly updates all come through at once. But this is more of an issue with the person sending out the info all at once.

### "ClassDojo: a friend for teachers. "

June 9, 2022

5.0

As I said, I can enhance the communication with parents, and also have a track of the conversations, agreements, or anything. It is great for me to share pictures and videos of what students work in class.

Pros

I like that it's great to maintain good communication with parents, I hope they can include more things to support instruction.

Cons

I think if they include some way to create polls or surveys, also some other ways to support instruction would be more usable.

### "Communication and classroom management "

December 8, 2022

5.0

ClassDojo has been such an easy and simple software to use. I truly don’t think I had a bad experience.

Pros

I feel like I love the ease and structure of messaging with parents. Do you have the option to post on a class story or send individual messages to parents that may be more important.

Cons

The only thing I would change about the software is allowing more points to be given then just five points at a time.

### "ClassDojo is a must have for schools!"

September 17, 2022

5.0

Overall, I have had a very positive experience with ClassDojo. Classdojo is user friendly, easy to download to almost any device, provides seamless school-to-home communication, has daily student behavior reporting and highly incentivizes kids in positive behavior management, best of all...it is FREE!

Pros

ClassDojo is a user friendly app that is easy to utilize in classrooms. It is easy to install on most devices and is accessible to teachers, parents and school administrators. It makes the ability to communicate from school- to-home very easy. Students have the ability to design their own "character" and track their own behavior. The program uses a simple and clean format that makes it easy for students to view. Students who are visual learners are able to look at the app and almost immediately determine if their behavior has been acceptable or unacceptable for that day. Teachers are able to use points as a way to incentivize students during the school day. Teachers are also able to communicate students behavior through the app. Parents are able to login daily to see how many points their child earned or had taken away. This data also includes notes on why the student earned points or had them taken away. When a student gets sent to the principal's office for misbehaving, the administrator can login to Class Dojo and see why the student was sent down. This creates ease in reporting for school administrators and also in helping them determine what kind of consequence a student needs. Teachers report that it is easy to use and fairly fast. It also provides the capability of posting pictures and stories on the app. Parents are able to login daily to view them. Best of all, Classdojo is FREE to schools!

Cons

The content can be too immature for older grades. Parents may not have access to the needed technology to access it.
