Importing a student to your class from the School Directory on ClassDojo is a breeze and keeps everyone connected! The School Directory lets you add a student who’s already in the system, bringing any existing family connections along with them. This feature is especially handy for students in multiple classes or when they change classes at the end of the year. It ensures families stay connected without needing new codes each year or for each class. Follow these easy steps to import a student to your class from the School Directory and simplify your classroom management!
Please Note:
- Selecting the "Add [student’s name]" option will add the student as new. If that student is already in your School Directory, you will be creating a duplicate listing for the student
- Teachers must be school-approved at the time of class creation to have their students auto-added to the School Directory.
From the Web
To import a student from the School Directory from the web:
- Open your class
- Click on the "+" icon to add a new student
- Enter the student's first and last name (If they are already in the School Directory the student should auto-populate as you enter the first few letters of their name)
- You'll see a drop-down menu appear. If there's a matching student in the School Directory you'll see a "Matches from School Directory" notice above the name of the student and the name of the last class the student was in (or the current class they are in). Below that will be an "Add [student’s name]" option.
