Class DOJO



What is it?
Class DOJO is an online classroom management system that we use in the classroom for behavior.  The students really enjoy it because it gives immediate feed back and because they each have a really cool monster avatar.  Teachers like it because we are able to keep track of behavior with a point system.  This way students are able to earn points for positive behavior, but can also lose points with negative behavior.  The really great thing is if a student loses a point, they have the opportunity to get that point back later in the day with good behavior.

How can you be involved?
You can access your child’s account online.  Just make sure you get your child's code from me!  They will be coming home soon!
        This way you will be able to specifically check what behaviors they are exhibiting each day, along with how many points they earn.  
You do NOT need to return the portion that would let me know that you have signed up.
Also, there is a Class DOJO app for Android and iPhone!

Keeping Track 
As you know students are keeping track of their points on the Weekly Review Sheet.  These points are accumulating throughout the week, then they will write their total for the week.  Notice that we are also setting a goal for how many points we want to get each week.  Soon, students will be setting his or her own goal.  By doing this, I hope that they are leaning to take responsibility for their behavior.


I really hope you enjoy this program as much as we do!
