Passaic Schools

Hello PPS Staff,

Welcome back for the 2026–27 school year, we’re excited to share that your school’s ClassDojo will again be rostered this school year.

Your Action Steps: 

1. Remind yourself how ClassDojo Rostering Works:  with this Mini Slide Deck and this FAQ page.

2. Connect Families: Make sure that you have a plan to send a connection invite to ALL current and new families via ClassDojo by student return.

On August 24: 

• Students were automatically added in your directory 

  • Teachers and staff will no longer be able to create new students or remove them manually in ClassDojo. If changes need to be made, please contact your SIS administrator.

  • Teachers can still update student names within ClassDojo, even if they were imported from the SIS with a different name.

• Classes were automatically set up for teachers

  • You can create additional classes as needed

  • If you need to add a student to a class, you can still add students from the School Directory.

  • Rostered classes can still be archived as needed if you don’t plan to use them on ClassDojo or they can be renamed. 

Staff Invite: Staff who are new to ClassDojo should have received an invite to create their accounts on August 24. Staff at all rostered schools are approved automatically.

What’s coming next: 

• Students added into their classrooms by September 1 close to student return, so families see final class placements at the right time.

• Family Invites: While families are invited automatically on September 1, because some families don’t check emails or family data may be stale or not in the SIS, your staff should follow up to connect families. 

If you run into issues or have questions, please refer to ClassDojo’s FAQ here or reach out to ClassDojo Support.
