We’re so excited to introduce our new schoolwide points feature! The positive feedback platform kids love, aligned with PBIS or your schoolwide values, is now ready for the whole school. In this FAQ guide, we'll answer all your questions.
Q. Why does my school not have access to schoolwide points?
A. In order for any staff members to give schoolwide points, a School Leader or Admin must first set up at least one schoolwide skill.
Q. Who can give schoolwide points?
A. Any verified School Leader, Teacher, or Staff member can award points in the schoolwide points dashboard.
Q. Who can create, edit, and delete schoolwide skills?
A. Verified School Leaders and Admins can create, edit, or delete schoolwide skills. All schoolwide skills will also be added to the classes within the school.
Q. What happens when a schoolwide point skill is created?
A. Schoolwide skills are automatically added to all existing and new classes in your school. Teachers can still have skills unique to their class, too. Schoolwide skills can also be given from the schoolwide points dashboard when students are outside of class.
Q. Where do points awarded from the schoolwide points dashboard go?
A. Points awarded from the schoolwide points dashboard are added to an 'outside of class' tally for a student but are not added to that student's point bubble in their class. The point total you see in the schoolwide points dashboard is a combination of a student's class points and outside of class points.
Q. What devices can be used for schoolwide points?
A. Schoolwide points can be awarded on the ClassDojo website and the app.
Q. Why is the student’s point total in their class different from their point total in the Schoolwide points dashboard?
A. All class points and outside-of-class points will be included in the schoolwide points dashboard. However, points awarded in the schoolwide points dashboard will not be included in the student’s point total in their class or in their report. This would explain a difference in the point totals.
Q. Can School Leaders and Admins disable the ability to create/award “needs work” points?
A. Not at this time.
Q. Does a student have to be in an active class to receive Schoolwide points?
A. No, as long as the student is listed in the Directory and has not been graduated, they can receive schoolwide points.
Q. Can schoolwide points be redeemed?
A. Yes, School Leaders and Admins can redeem school points.
Q. Can I add a note to a schoolwide point?
A. Not at this time.
Q. Are points given in the Schoolwide point dashboard included in a student’s class report?
A. Not at this time.
Q. Is there a way to download schoolwide point data?
A. Yes, School Leaders and Admins can download a CSV file for their preferred date range while in the dashboard.
Q. Can School Leaders toggle off the Schoolwide points feature?
A. Yes, to disable Schoolwide points, a School Leader or Admin can delete the point skills from the Schoolwide points dashboard.
Q. Can house points be awarded in the Schoolwide points dashboard?
A. We don't yet have a way to aggregate house points. All points are aggregated by class.
