Staff Chats

Staff Messaging enables any school-approved staff member to message colleagues from their school using ClassDojo Chats. Staff can create group threads with multiple people (e.g., a grade-level team or the entire school) or message people individually. 

Staff can send text, photos, and attachments via Staff Chats and also see if their message has been read. Learn how to send a Staff Chat from the web or the app below!

From the Web

How to send a staff message from the web:

  1. Log into your ClassDojo account 
  2. Click on the "Chats" tab, located on the sidebar
  3. Compose a new message by tapping the purple pencil icon at the top of your message list or click on an existing message thread  to send a chat to a group or staff member who you have already messaged 
  4. If you would like to narrow your message recipients down to staff, type "Teacher" into the search bar to filter this list (this will include users with the School Leader, School Staff AND Teacher roles)
  5. From here, if you would like to message all staff at once and do not have an existing message thread, you can click "Select all"
    NOTE: Please be sure to look through the recipients to make sure no families are included. If a family's name includes "teacher" (i.e. Teacherman), they will be included in this filtered list.
