Using ClassDojo as Both a School Staff Member and a Parent

If you're a School Leader or teacher who’s also using ClassDojo as a parent, you’ll need two separate accounts — one for school and one for home. That’s because each ClassDojo account must be tied to a unique email address to protect privacy and ensure account security.

This article walks you through how to:

  • Check which email is currently linked to your account

  • Update your account if needed

  • Set up your second account

  • Easily switch between the two

1. Check Which Email Is Linked to Your Current Account

Start by confirming which email address is tied to the account you’re already using.

To check:

  • Log in to your account on the app or web

  • Click your profile icon

  • Go to Account Settings

  • Look under the Email field

💡Tip:

  • Use your school email for your staff account

  • Use a personal email for your parent account

If your parent account is currently using your school email, update it to a personal one before setting up your staff account (see Step 2 below).

2. Update Your Parent Account Email

If your parent account is using your school email, update it to a personal address so your school email can be used for your staff account.

To update your email:

  • From your Account Settings, view your email address

  • Under Email, enter your personal email address

  • Click Save

3. Create Your Second Account

Once your email address is updated correctly to your first account, you can set up your second account.

To create your school staff account:

  • Go to www.classdojo.com

  • Click Sign Up and select School Leader or Teacher

  • Use your school or district email

  • Complete the setup and connect to your school

To create a parent account instead:

  • Click Sign Up and choose Parent

  • Use your personal email and follow the steps to connect to your child’s class

4. Switching Between Accounts

Once both accounts are set up with different emails, switching between them is simple.

On the ClassDojo app (iOS or Android):

On the web:

  • Log out of one account

  • Log in using the email tied to your other account
