Read Time: min ClassDojo for Districts offers one unified platform for districts that offers secure two-way messaging, single sign-on, automatic rostering, and full message histories—backed by white-glove support and industry-leading privacy practices. It’s designed to help districts improve family engagement, reduce chronic absenteeism, support teacher retention, and build trust in their communities. ClassDojo for Districts works across pre-K through high school, integrates easily into existing systems, and is free for partner districts. “As we wrap up our first year as a ClassDojo for Districts partner, one of the biggest benefits has been the ability to create a more unified communication experience across our schools,” says Will Herring, Assistant Director of Technology, Moore County Schools in North Carolina. “ClassDojo was already widely used and well regarded in our classrooms, so it made sense to build on that foundation at the district level. Just as important is the data—we’re no longer sending messages into a void. Now we can see when families are engaging—and that insight is shaping everything from parent engagement strategies to our broader school improvement plans.” ClassDojo for Districts is the only platform that combines massive adoption, district-level control, and world-class privacy—at zero cost. The ClassDojo Everyone Already Trusts–And So Much More ClassDojo for Districts gives administrators full control over school-to-home communication—without adding complexity for teachers. Many districts rely on fragmented tools that lack oversight or create privacy risks. ClassDojo solves this with secure, centralized messaging that scales across pre-K to high school. District leaders get full visibility, automated rostering, message history access, and real-time control over staff permissions. Data is protected with bank-grade encryption, verified logins, and independent security audits. Teachers continue using the ClassDojo they already know and love—no new systems to learn or manage. Communication remains simple, inclusive, and instantly translated into 130+ languages. ClassDojo also helps safeguard classroom communities. Kids can only connect with people they know in real life, and only with teacher or parent permission. All communication is visible to adults. Best of all, ClassDojo for Districts is completely free for schools, teachers, and districts. ClassDojo Case Studies ClassDojo: A Trusted Partner ClassDojo is the leading communication and engagement platform in K-12 education, trusted by teachers and families in 90% of U.S. schools and 180 countries, and is trusted by more than 45 million teachers and families. “When I took over as principal, my first major initiative on day one was to adopt ClassDojo,” says Brian Heidenreich, principal at H.D. Berkey Elementary School, who as an instructor had been using the communication platform to connect teachers, students, and families to build positive classroom communities. “We were able to reinforce positive behavior with ClassDojo and good communication with parents.” ClassDojo has had an extremely positive effect on the H.D. Berkey’s suspension rates, which have plummeted to just two—from the previous 69—within just two years. Heidenreich says the school continues to run and review its attendance reports to measure the impact of ClassDojo on those metrics but adds that the lower number of behavior and suspension days is a true testament to the platform’s contribution.

Unlike other platforms, ClassDojo doesn’t allow targeted ads or sell data. It is used daily by teachers, principals, and district leaders to keep school communities connected, informed, and engaged. Most tools serve either classrooms or central IT. ClassDojo bridges that gap. In classrooms around the world, teachers use ClassDojo to message families, share photos and updates from the school day, and build stronger relationships through real-time communication. Today, 80% of families read their ClassDojo messages the same day they’re sent. “Partnering with ClassDojo has helped bridge these gaps by providing an instant translation feature, allowing teachers to communicate with families in their native languages,” says Brian Prybil, Deputy Superintendent, Moline-Coal Valley School District. “This has enabled more effective engagement, as families can easily access real-time updates about their children’s academic and behavioral progress. For a district with a 10% to 15% mobility rate, ClassDojo offers a consistent communication channel to keep families connected even during school transitions.” Connection changes everything – YouTube Watch On At the school level, principals send out announcements, coordinate events, and keep families in the loop about key happenings.
