How Can School Leaders Post to the School Story?

School Story is a whole-school messaging board. Posts will appear in the School Directory to all parents connected to an active class. Most schools use their School Story for announcements, closure days, reminders for special events, etc. You can post images, videos, files, events or text using the ClassDojo website. 

Please note:

  • School Leaders will be able to view the number of families who have viewed a School Story post and use these numbers to build school-wide stats.
  • Families can comment on School Story posts if you have enabled commenting for parents. For more on how you can moderate the School Story as a School Leader please take a look at this tutorial.
