Edit a Student's Name

Keeping student information accurate is crucial for effective classroom management. On ClassDojo, you can easily edit a student's name to ensure your roster is up to date. Whether you've encountered a typo, a name change, or need to make any adjustments, the process is simple and quick. Follow these easy steps to edit a student's name on ClassDojo and maintain accurate records for your class!

Please Note: 

  • You should only be editing a student's name if their name is misspelled. If you need to change a student's name because you imported the wrong student to your class, you should delete the student from your class and add the correct student instead of editing the name. That way, the student data stays with the correct student profile. Learn how to delete a student from your class here
  • If the student is part of your School Directory, any changes you make will be visible in ALL of the student's classes.
