We’re piloting a new feature that lets high school teachers and students message directly in ClassDojo—one-on-one or in groups. It’s built for grades 9–12, and helps students stay engaged, informed, and supported. This feature is only available for schools participating in the pilot program.
Here’s what families need to know:
Who can message students?
Only teachers, coaches, and staff connected to a class can message students. A teacher must send the first message—students can't start a chat on their own. The school must be participating in the pilot program.
What devices are compatible?
Students can use Teacher-to-Student Messaging on Android and iOS apps. See compatible systems here.
Can messages be deleted?
- Teachers can delete their own messages.
- Students cannot delete messages.
- Teachers can't delete student messages, but they can report them to ClassDojo’s Trust & Safety team.
What happens if something inappropriate is sent?
Keeping ClassDojo and school communities safe is a shared responsibility. For guidance on reporting any illegal or potentially harmful messaging content on ClassDojo, please see this article.
Will students get notifications?
Yes. Students can opt in to receive push notifications for new messages.
Can I see my student’s messages?
This feature is in progress as of March 1, 2026. Soon you'll be able to view your student's messages by navigating through the Kids tab.
How will I know if my student is messaging with a teacher?
You’ll get an email the first time a teacher starts messaging your student.
How do students log in?
Students in participating districts can set up their account in three ways:
- Email invitation: Students receive an email invitation from their teacher and follow the link to join their school on ClassDojo. If a student can't find the email, ask them to check their spam or junk folder. Teachers can resend the invitation from their class settings.
- Mobile app: Students download the ClassDojo app, tap "I'm a student," then tap "Sign in with school account" to log in with their school credentials.
- ClassDojo.com: Students go to ClassDojo.com, select "Get started" as a Student, and log in with Google. Note: Web onboarding is currently available for schools using Google as their sign-in provider. Schools using Microsoft will continue to use the email invitation or mobile app options.
