New this year in Sandusky schools: ClassDojo, translated messages and a single first day
The district is using one app to reach families in more than 190 languages, and every student started school on the same day.
Sandusky City Schools started the 2026-27 year Wednesday, Aug. 26, with no staggered start: every student began the same day.
A new way to reach families
New this year is ClassDojo, which the district is using in every building. Teachers use it to share classroom updates and talk with families directly. The district says the app translates messages in real time into more than 190 languages.
The district already publishes supply lists in five languages: English, Spanish, Pashto, Vietnamese and Twi.
Tools families already use
- OneView Portal: Enrollment and emergency medical forms are online only. The district says it will not accept paper forms.
- ProgressBook Parent Access: Grades, schedules and attendance. Parents need the student's registration key.
- Here Comes the Bus: Real-time bus tracking, using the student's ID number.
Coming up
Family conferences are scheduled for Oct. 5-6, and kindergarten enrollment for 2026-27 is open online. The district's Back to School Hub has the details.
