Our class, as well as the school, will be using an interactive system to monitor
behavior. This system is called Class Dojo. Please read below to find out what
Class Dojo is and how it will be used this year.
What is Class Dojo?
Class Dojo is a classroom tool that helps teachers monitor behavior in their
classrooms quickly and easily. It also captures and generates data on behavior
that teachers can share with parents. Class Dojo makes it easy to engage
parents in their child's classroom performance, by allowing teachers to provide
them with data from the classroom - with just one click!
How does it work?
Class Dojo is a fully confidential and online behavior system. Each student is
assigned an avatar to represent them. When students demonstrate positive
behaviors, the teacher simply clicks on their avatar, chooses the appropriate
behavior from the list, and awards the student with a positive point. When a
student demonstrates a behavior that needs improvement, the teacher can
subtract points from the student’s overall point total.
How do I know how my child is doing?
The great part about Class Dojo is the fact that it provides parents with current
and specific information regarding their child’s behavior at school. Parents
receive a login code which allows them to access their child’s Dojo account
anytime and view a report outlining exactly why their child is receiving positive
and negative points. These reports can be viewed on a daily basis, weekly basis,
or monthly basis. After parents have registered for a Dojo account, Class Dojo
will send them an email every Friday, detailing their child’s weekly behavior.
How will Class Dojo be used in my child’s classroom?
Prior to the first day of school, each student will be assigned a Dojo avatar.
Parents will receive a login code at open house, which will allow them to register
for their own Dojo account. PARENTS MUST REGISTER FOR AN
ACCOUNT IN ORDER TO RECEIVE WEEKLY EMAIL
BEHAVIOR REPORTS.
Throughout the school day, students will receive positive and negative Dojo
points. Positive behavior will be rewarded based on a points scale. Students will
earn one Bulldog Buck for every 5 positive Dojo points they receive. Students will
be afforded the opportunity to spend their Bulldog Bucks in the 3 rd Grade General
Store on their class’ assigned shopping day.
Positive Behavior Rewards:
Throughout the school day, students will receive positive and negative Dojo
points. Positive behavior will be rewarded based on a points scale. Students will
earn one Bulldog Buck for every 5 positive Dojo points they receive. Students will
be afforded the opportunity to spend their Bulldog Bucks in the 3 rd Grade General
Store on their class’ assigned shopping day. If your child is absent on their class’
shopping day, they will not be able to shop until the following week. IT IS THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF EACH STUDENT TO KEEP UP WITH THEIR BULLDOG
BUCKS. STUDENTS WILL NOT BE REIMBURSED FOR LOST OR STOLEN
MONEY. Points will be reset each Monday.
Negative Behavior:
When students display behaviors that need improvement, they will lose a Dojo
point. Negative points will result in a variety of consequences. Students WILL
NOT lose Bulldog Bucks for negative behaviors.
Negative Behavior Consequences:
1 Negative Point: Warning
2 Negative Points: Lose 5 minutes of recess
3 Negative Points: Lose all of recess or have silent lunch
4+ Negative Points: Parent phone call
***Anytime a child demonstrates a significant negative behavior, I will write a note
in their agenda detailing the incident. This will require a parent signature.
Each student has the opportunity to start each school day with a clean slate. We
reserve the right to skip any of these steps and take immediate office referral
action at any point, based on the severity of the behavior.
1. Show respect to everyone (teacher, classmates, &
other adults in the school)
2. Follow directions quickly
3. Raise your hand to speak
4. Keep your hands, feet, and negative
comments to yourself
5. Be a caring friend (no picking on others)
