Schoolwide Points FAQs for Teachers

We’re so excited to introduce our new schoolwide points feature! The positive feedback platform kids love, aligned with PBIS or your schoolwide values, now ready for the whole school. In this FAQ guide, we'll answer all your questions. 🎉 

Q. Why does my account not have access to schoolwide points?

A. A School Leader or Admin will need to set up your schoolwide skills for this feature to be ready for use.

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. 

Q. What devices can be used for schoolwide points?

A. Schoolwide points can be awarded on the ClassDojo website and the app.

Q. What happens if I give a point for a schoolwide skill in my class?
A. If you give a point to a student in your class, whether it's for a schoolwide skill or class skill, it will be added to that student's point bubble in your class.

Q. Can I see my student's outside-of-class points?
A. Not at this time, but we'll be adding a way for a teacher to view the outside-of-class points that their students have received in the future.

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 schoolwide 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. 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 school points be redeemed?

A. Yes, School Leaders and Admins can redeem school points.

A. Not at this time.

A. Not at this time.

Q. Is there a way for teachers to download schoolwide point data?

A. Not at this time. 

Q. Can Teachers remove schoolwide skills from their classes?

A. No, not at this time. All schoolwide skills will also be added to each class within the school.

A. Not at this time.

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.
