Dear Parent or Guardian,

I wanted to write home today to tell you about ClassDojo, a new teacher tool I will be using in Science class to help build your student’s learning habits and boost classroom engagement.

ClassDojo allows me to track student behavior and learning skills throughout the day!   

One of the great features of ClassDojo is that it allows me to send you a “behavior and skills report” every Friday by email.  My hope is that this will bring you and me closer together and help you better understand the progress of your student on a week to week basis.                             

For homework tonight I’ve asked your student to have you fill out this form so I can get your email address.  Thank you very much!

Best wishes,

Cecilia Bonaduce
