This year we’ll be encouraging positive skills, like kindness, perseverance and teamwork, with ClassDojo. Class Dojo is an interactive behavior system that 3rd-5th grade will use, that also instantly communicates with you. It is an online platform that we will utilize to monitor individual and whole class student behavior this year. Students earn points for positive behavior. In addition, students may lose points for poor behavior. Whole class and negative individual student points will reset at the beginning of each month. Positive individual student points will carry over to the next month. Feel free to check out their website and resources for more information:
