If a staff member is no longer a part of your school’s community, you can remove them from your school’s Directory to ensure that they no longer have access to your school on ClassDojo.

If the staff member owns any active classes, you can either:

• • Transfer the classes to yourself or another school-approved staff member 
  • Archive the classes

Need to remove multiple staff members? Use the checkboxes to the left of the staff members’ names to select multiple staff members at once!

To grant Admin access to a school-approved staff member:
