Last year, our team met Principal Tonata Lolesio at a conference. The quick chat stayed with me. The Maui wildfires had just happened, and the devastation was fresh in her mind. Hundreds of kids and families attending her school had been displaced. She and her teachers needed to stay in constant contact with them to ensure everyone was safe. Equally importantly, she wanted families to feel supported.? She told us that they were able to keep the whole community connected, encouraging each other through such a difficult time on ClassDojo. Since then, she and her school have continued to use ClassDojo to share updates and joyful moments daily. Her story mirrors many we’ve heard from school leaders who want a better way to bring their school community together. I heard from Janet, who wanted to call parents daily with positive feedback about their kids, but struggled with the amount of time it took. Or Diana, who tried to share special moments through newsletters, but had no idea if families were even seeing them. Each of these leaders wanted their school community to feel more connected. Over the last year, we’ve worked closely with hundreds of school leaders to bring the same magic that started in individual classrooms to whole schools. Today, I’m excited to share that we’ve expanded ClassDojo to enable school leaders to do the things they want: ??See the magic moments from every classroom:? School leaders can now virtually ‘walk the halls’, seeing hundreds of? pictures, videos and magic moments from the day through an aggregated stream of their teachers’ class ‘Story’ posts. They can finally be there for all the can’t miss moments. ??Build a positive school culture:? School leaders can award positive feedback that reinforces the school’s core values, encouraging positive behaviors through the entire school and keeping families in the loop. ?? Easily connect everyone: School leaders can instantly share important announcements or have two-way chats with staff and families with a single inbox for their whole school community. ??Reach every family: Leaders can include and engage every family, no matter the language they speak at home. With messages automatically translated into 130 languages, language need no longer be a barrier. I’m tremendously proud of the new ways we’re empowering school communities. And I’m grateful for the response from school leaders. In the last month as school leaders prepare for the new year, thousands have already established schoolwide communities on ClassDojo, and have been thrilled with the positive engagement they’ve seen from families and kids. I can’t wait to help more school leaders turn their schools into close-knit communities. Know a principal or other school leader? Feel free to share this post with them, and they can learn more at www.classdojo.com/sayhello.

9+ years in the making… Our first booth at ISTE! In the early days, we went to ISTE as attendees of this global education conference. We would meet up with teachers and roam the halls with a box of donuts, sharing our mission with anyone willing to listen. 9 years later… We are still doing teacher meetups. And we finally secured our booth! Thanks to YOU for your support in giving every kid on Earth an education they love. ?? How long have you been part of our journey? ?? #ISTELive #edtech #education #MonstersandHumansofClassDojo

Just back from an incredible week in London! From meeting Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan during London Tech Week, to joining Cameron Adams, Cal Henderson, Marcia Kilgore, and Avid Larizadeh Duggan OBE on stage at Founders Forum to talk about customer obsession, it was an action-packed few days. London was home before Liam Don and I moved to San Francisco to start ClassDojo. It’s exciting to see how the energy and ambition of European founders keeps growing. Grateful to the team that made last week so memorable, and especially to Carolyn Dawson, Brent Hoberman, Izzy Dipple, and the entire Founders Forum team for the invitation.
