Class Dojo is our school communication platform that teachers, students, and families use every day by sharing what’s being learned in the classroom and at home through photos, videos, and messages. It enables us to send out individual or whole class messages direct from your child’s class. We also used Class Dojo to support our current Home Learning during the COVID Lockdown 2021.
If you have any concerns, questions or need contact class teacher then you can do so by logging on to your School Dojo using the login information that was supplied to you on starting school.
