Managing Students in your Directory for School Leaders and Admins

School Leaders and staff members with Admin permissions have the ability to manage information listed in the School Directory. From the Students tab, you can add new students to your school, graduate or remove former students, manage family connections, and more!

On the Web 💻

To access the Student Directory on the website:

1. Log into your account at classdojo.com.
2. Click Directory on the left of your screen.
3. Select the Students tab at the top.
   

From here, you can: 

Add New Students

New students who are added to classes listed in your school’s Directory or students in classes that were transferred to your school’s Directory will automatically appear under the “Students” tab. You can also add students to the Directory following these steps: 

•  
  • Click + Add students on the right-hand side.
  • Type in student names to add them manually, or upload a roster by clicking on "Import Students".
  • Invite families at the same time by adding their email addresses.

Please Note: School-approved users can include family members' emails when they enter new students into the Directory. Upon adding a family member's email to a student's profile, the family member will receive an email sharing that they have been invited to join the school community. When a teacher imports the student from the Directory to their class, any existing family connections will also be imported to the class.

Invite Families

• To send the same link to family members at your school: Use the QR code or invite link on the right of the page. Families will be prompted to type in the name of the student they should be connected with, and we’ll match the request to the student in your Directory!

Family connection requests using the QR code or link will need to be reviewed and approved by staff members listed in your school’s Directory. 

• To invite a specific family member: Click on the “Invite” button next to a student’s name to invite their family members to send them an invitation via email or phone number.

 Edit Student Names

1. Click the student’s monster avatar.
2. Click the pencil icon next to their name.
3. Update their name, then click Save.

Please note- changes made to student names will be reflected in all classes and connected family members’ accounts.

Disconnect or Reconnect Families

•  
  • Click on a student’s name.
  • Tap the three dots (···) next to the family member’s name.
  • Choose Disconnect parent to disconnect the family member from the student, which will remove all information about this student, Story posts, or any new messages for this student's profile from the family member’s account.
  • Choose Reconnect parent to reconnect a family member who was previously disconnected.

Graduate or Remove Students

• • We suggest graduating students who have completed the highest grade level offered at your school. 
    • When a student is graduated:
      • Connected family members will no longer see new School Story posts. 
      • Class Story and Student Portfolio posts will remain in the connected family members’ story feed.
      • The student’s profile will be moved to the “Graduated” section in your Directory, and you can undo the graduation at any time. 
        
        
  • We suggest removing students who did not complete the highest grade level offered but are no longer a part of your school’s community. 
    
    • When a student is removed:
      • This will remove their connection with your school. Their profile will be removed from all classes at your school. 
      • Their family members will no longer see new School Story posts, but Class Story and Student Portfolio posts will remain in the connected family members’ story feed.
