San Francisco, California, July 25, 2025 – Classdojo has announced a major expansion of its Classdojo for districts Platform, launching new features designed to help district leaders unify communication, strengthen family engagement and rationalize surveillance in schools, while helping the districts to adapt to the deepening of budgetary pressures. With current reductions in federal education funding, leaders suffer increasing pressure to do more with less. These new updates, available for the school year of 2025-2026, offer a solution without cost built directly from the comments of superintendents, technology directors and public relations managers. The press release includes improvements in messaging, behavior and class management and IT administration.
“Each classdojo iteration is built on the comments of the people who use it,” said Chad A. Stevens, Ph.D., the classdo of kindergarten's commitment to the 12th year. “The superintendents were clear that they wanted to use tools that were already quickly adopted and loved by school staff. So we have built tools that bring together the entire district – with consistency, control and care.”
Communication and family commitment that evolves on a district scale
Districts can now send announcements to all families, school staff or targeted groups. Messages are automatically translated into 130 languages and include reading receipts so that central offices can confirm delivery. Time -sensitive updates can also be sent as important messages via SMS.
For colleges and high schools, the platform now offers a student experience more suited to age. Students can personalize their own avatars (or use initials), and the redesigned interface helps strengthen routines and independence.
Support fed by AI for teachers
To support teachers, Classdojo has created Sidekick, an AI assistant who helps reduce the work occupied and give teachers more time with students. Sidekick helps planning lessons, administrative tasks and workflows in the daily class – and continues to evolve according to teachers' comments.
“Teachers tell us that the companion saves them hours each week,” said Dr. Stevens. “They feel more prepared and more present with students, and they don't have to leave a proven tool they use daily.”
Surveillance without seam and computer control
Classdojo for districts now offers the automated list and integration with SIS, Classlink or SFTP systems, reducing manual configuration and synchronization of data on students, staff and families daily. Staff connections are secure with Google or Microsoft SSO, and Multi-Factory Authentication (MFA) is available for additional protection.
Communication recordings, including text, images, videos and files, are easy to audit by authorized personnel. Search by school, dates beach or staff member and export via secure links limited over time.
Coming in 2026
Future updates will include student teachers' messaging, alerts based on attendance via SIS, automated voice calls to households and integration with district social networks such as Facebook and Instagram.
Dr. Stevens concluded: “The districts are often forced to choose between innovation and affordability – but with Classdojo, they do not have to do so.
