  ### 4. Great Tool for Parent-Teacher Communication

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jackie B. | Owner, Real Estate, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 27, 2024

**What do you like best about ClassDojo?**

I like ClassDojo because it is a great way for parents, teachers, and school staff to communicate easily and parents can see how my child is doing through the school day.  The reward/point system is especially motivating for so many students because it encourages positive behavior and they know they get rewards for more points. I also love the ability to see updates, photos, and videos from teacher to parents, which helps parents feel like they are not missing anything.

**What do you dislike about ClassDojo?**

I don't like that you have to pay to see read receipts. Sometimes it's helpful to know when a teacher or parent has read something to make sure they didn't miss a message. I also don't like how sometimes it doesn't notify me of a new message.

It benefits me by letting me communicating with school staff without trying to track someone down or not having their direct number which makes things so much easier.

**Reviewed Date:** June 06, 2023

It allows me to connect with students, allowing them to self regulate behavior based on fair and accurate reporting on their performance from me, their teacher.

  ### 10. ClassDojo for Upper Elementary

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Amanda H. | Educator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 22, 2022

**What do you like best about ClassDojo?**

ClassDojo is most helpful for communication with parents! It is like a Facebook for the classroom. I can post messages and pictures for everyone to see or send individual parent messages. The other tools on ClassDojo are also quite helpful. I use the group maker often because the students can see that the groups are "fair" due to their being chosen randomly. The points tracker is a fantastic behavior management tool. We do not use it as much in 5th grade, but when I taught 1st grade, the students worked hard to receive points. There is also an option to take away points. However, I do not use that feature. Lastly, parents can access a behavior report based on the issues you give and take away.

**What do you dislike about ClassDojo?**

One thing I do not like about ClassDojo is that parents can not post on the main feed. It would be beneficial if I could give my room parents privileges to post information about parties and events because they do a lot of planning and organizing for me.

**What problems is ClassDojo solving and how is that benefiting you?**

ClassDojo solves the problem of quickly communicating with parents and guardians. Because they can download the app, it essentially works like texting. This is beneficial because I can get ahold of parents or guardians quicker than a phone call. This also allows me to keep all communication in one place, which is great if I need to refer to a specific conversation.
