Class Dojo is a classroom management app that allows teachers to give students points for following school rules and communicate with parents. Teachers can sign up for free and invite parents to join. At Sanders Elementary, all classrooms will use Class Dojo to track points students earn which can be redeemed for prizes. Students earn points by demonstrating the school rules of being safe, having materials ready, always trying their best, being respectful, and being polite to others.

2. WHAT IS CLASS DOJO?
• Class Dojo is a simple classroom management app that
helps teachers encourage students in class and easily
communicate with parents.
• Teachers can sign up for free, and invite parents to join
anytime.
• This replaces the more “traditional” color clip chart and
take home planner.
• Students have the opportunity to earn points that
correspond to our school wide rules and can be awarded
points from any staff member on campus. On occasion,
points can also be deducted for infraction of school rules.
• Points will be logged and can be redeemed for prizes at
both the classroom and school level.
• Each classroom at Sanders will use this system, school-
wide.

HOW DO STUDENTS EARN POINTS?
Students
can earn
points by
following our
school rules.

5. Matrix of Rules with Example Behaviors
Each grade level will have a matrix aligned with the rules for students to
understand
how to earn points and why points will be deducted. (Sample below is from K.)

6. DOJO DEDUCTIONS
• If a student breaks one of
our SHARP rules, they
will have a “Dojo
Deduction” and can lose
a point.
• Just like in a clip chart
system, there will be a
series of consequences
that follow negative
behavior.

record of the points,
and the student can
then cash points out
for prizes.
• Students can cash in
points for prizes on a
pre-set menu
established by the
teacher.

9. TIPS FOR WORKING TOGETHER EFFECTIVELY
• For convenience, some teachers* may choose to
use the messaging feature on ClassDojo for
updates or class wide information to be shared.
• In return, we ask that you please be respectful of
the teacher’s instructional time and do not
message or inquire about points earned or
deducted during the school day.
• If you need to contact us regarding a question
about a specific behavior, our hours to do so are
7:00-8:20 am and 3:00-5:00 pm. Outside of those
hours, you are welcome to contact us by email.
*Determined by grade level teams.
