Classroom Expectations This year we will be focusing on building important life skills such as working hard and participating. I’ll be using ClassDojo to give students feedback on these skills :)

Why use ClassDojo? ClassDojo is a easy way to see your child’s progress of these skills and also behaviors.

Access Code Individualized for each child Make sure your child’s name is on the top of the paper Class Dojo app

Get out those phones :) Download the app Sign up as a parentEnter your code!

Let’s try it out I’ll send you a message now! Go ahead… send one back :)

How else can we work together? I hope that you find this tool, helpful in communicating your child’s expectations and behaviors.
