There are four ways you can invite families to connect to a student in your class on ClassDojo:
A. Print Individual Parent Invitation Codes
- Open your class.
- Click on “Family Connections”.
- Click the “Individual printouts” button to download a PDF of your parent codes, and then print them from your computer. There will be an individual 7-9 digit parent code and an individual QR code for each student. Families can enter the parent code on their account or scan the QR code to connect to the student and your class.
B. Invite Families via Email or Text
- Open your class.
- Click on "Family Connections".
- Click the student's name whose parent you would like to invite.
- Click + Connect a parent to enter the parent's phone number or email address.
Once you’ve sent the invite, parents will get an email or text from us with a link to accept your invitation. From there, they will create an account or sign in to their existing account to connect to you.
Please Note: Even if you send a text invitation, parents will need to use an email address to create an account.
C. Invite Families via Class Link
- Open your class.
- Click on “Family Connections”.
- Click "Share a link" to pull up a link that you can send to parents (you may need to scroll to the bottom of the pop-up window to see this option). They will request to connect to a student in your class with the link, and these requests will need to be verified by you or a co-teacher.
