Tutoring Center Parent Communication | ClassDojo
Show families the progress they're paying for
Parents drop off and then wonder how it's going. ClassDojo lets your tutors send a photo, a quick recap, or the next reminder in seconds, free for your center and every family.
“It's really important that we're able to directly communicate in a way that aligns with our mission and vision with our families — and ClassDojo allows us to do that instantly.”

Frequently asked questions
Is ClassDojo free for our tutoring center?
Yes. ClassDojo is free for your center, your tutors, and your families. ClassDojo offers optional services directly to families, like ClassDojo Plus, and that's what keeps it free for everyone else. We never sell personal information, and we never share it with advertisers.
Which age groups does ClassDojo work for?
Centers use ClassDojo with every student they work with, from early elementary readers through high school test prep. Tutors choose what each family sees, so the experience fits the student.
How do our staff get set up?
Each staff member creates an account and sets up their group in a few minutes — no IT project, no training day.
How do families join?
Staff share an invite link or code, and families connect from the free app on their phone. Many families already use ClassDojo with their child's school, so there's often nothing new to download at all.
How is our program's data protected?
Your program's information belongs to your program. ClassDojo is COPPA-compliant, never sells personal information, and never shares it with advertisers.
Our families already use ClassDojo at school. Do they need anything new?
No. They connect to your center from the same free app they already have, so your updates land right alongside their school's. Nothing new to download, and no second password to remember.
We're a business, not a school. What's the catch?
There isn't one. ClassDojo is free for your center, your staff, and your families, whether you're a nonprofit or a for-profit business. Optional services families can choose for themselves, like ClassDojo Plus, are what fund it. We never sell personal information, and we never share it with advertisers.
