ClassDojo
ClassDojo is a communication platform that connects schools and families throughout the school day. ClassDojo has features such as story feeds, messages, photos, and points sharing valuable information and moments from the classroom to home. Over Hall Community School use this in conjunction with Schoolgateway and School Spider to make sure our parents/carers are as closely involved with their children’s school lives as possible.
Families can connect using their computer, or any iOS or Android device, click here for a tutorial on setting up a ClassDojo account.
