ClassDojo for Families
See your child’s day, message their teacher, and keep up with the classroom — free, on your phone.
ClassDojo is the app Advance U teachers use to stay in touch with families. It is free for parents, works on iPhone and Android, and also runs in any web browser. You do not need to buy anything or create a paid account.
Getting Started
Three steps — most families are set up in a few minutes.
1. Get the app
Download ClassDojo free on iPhone or Android, or use it in any web browser — links just below.
2. Get your invite
Your child’s teacher sends a parent invite — a printed code, a QR code, or a text or email link.
3. Connect
Choose Parent, enter the code or scan the QR, and confirm your child’s name.
More than one child?
Use the same account and add each child with their own invite. Do not make a second account.

Common Problems
Most issues come down to the invite code or notification settings.
- My code doesn’t workParent codes expire and are different for every class. Ask your child’s teacher for a fresh invite rather than reusing last year’s.
- I’m not getting notificationsCheck two places: notifications inside the ClassDojo app, and ClassDojo’s permission in your phone’s own Settings. Both have to be on.
- I can see the class story but can’t message the teacherThat usually means you joined with a student login instead of a parent invite. Ask the teacher to re-send the parent invite.
- My child moved to a new class or gradeConnections do not carry over. The new teacher sends a new invite.
- I’m connected to the wrong childRemove the connection in the app and re-enter the correct invite. Contact the office if you are unsure which is which.
- I forgot my passwordUse “Forgot password” on the login screen. The reset email may land in spam.
- I don’t read English easilyClassDojo can translate teacher messages. Set your language in the app, and tell the office if you need help getting started.
Still Stuck?
Call the front office at (602) 243-8531 and we will connect you with your child’s teacher for a new invite. If you would rather set it up in person, stop by the office and bring your phone — we are happy to walk you through it.
ClassDojo also runs its own help centre with step-by-step articles and screenshots.
