Dear Pleasants County Middle School Families and Students,

We have exciting news! This school year, our teachers, and staff will be using Class Dojo to message students and parents directly and securely through Teacher-Student-Parent Messaging for grades 6-12.

Please be aware this is a FREE app/program. You do NOT need to pay for a PLUS subscription to be able to use it!

What students can expect:

You’ll receive an invitation at your school email address from hello@classdojo.com. Check your spam folder if you don’t see it.
Follow the link to set up your ClassDojo student account using your school’s Microsoft login.
Once your account is active, your teacher can start a message thread with you. Please note: You cannot start new message threads. Teachers initiate all conversations.
All messages can be viewed by your parents/guardians and school leadership.


What parents and guardians can expect:

You’ll receive a notification when your child is first invited to set up their student account.
You can view your child’s messages at any time by navigating to the Kids tab and tapping "Chats."
For Teacher-Student-Parent Messaging, you will be able to message your child and their teacher together. This makes it easy to address time-sensitive logistics or academic needs as a family.


Questions about setting up your account? Review the FAQ guide here or Contact ClassDojo support at help@classdojo.com.

Students took their final lap through the halls of PCMS, surrounded by the cheers, applause, and well wishes of classmates, teachers, and staff. We are proud of all they have accomplished and excited to see the great things they will achieve in high school. Best of luck, Class of 2030—you will always be part of the Minutemen family! 🎓✨
