Two-page-style informational flyer titled “Prop 320 Fact Sheet: What It Means for Isaac” from Isaac School District #5, designed in blue, teal, yellow, green, and red on a white background. The flyer states that Proposition 320 is a 2026 ballot measure concerning the percentage of school district operational spending classified as “direct instruction.” Graphics show examples the flyer identifies as direct instruction, including classroom teachers, paraprofessionals, classroom supplies, and athletics, and examples it identifies as not counting as direct instruction, including transportation, nurse services, counseling, professional development, maintenance, and custodial services. Large statistic boxes highlight a 60% requirement, Isaac’s reported 50% current instructional allocation for FY2026, a 0.5 percentage-point minimum annual increase during a phase-in period, and a reported $4.89 million annual Classroom Site Fund allocation. A bar chart compares Isaac’s reported 50% allocation with the 60% requirement. Additional sections describe possible Classroom Site Fund reductions for noncompliance, important election dates, a local district measure involving closed campuses, and frequently asked questions about Proposition 320. The bottom of the flyer states that the fact sheet is informational and does not advocate for or against any measure.

ClassDojo is FREE for families!

Families do not need to pay a monthly fee to stay connected with our school through ClassDojo. The basic features families use for school communication are completely free, including messaging teachers, viewing class and school stories, receiving event reminders, and seeing behavior points and photos.

You may occasionally see a screen asking you to try or purchase ClassDojo Plus. This is optional and is not required to communicate with your child’s teacher or school.

If a payment or subscription screen appears, simply look for the “X” in the corner or choose “No thanks” or “Not now” to continue using the free version.

Please do not feel that you need to purchase a subscription to stay connected with us. You can continue using ClassDojo with your child’s class at no cost.

Bright, colorful 3D school flyer featuring the smiling yellow Esperanza Star mascot with blue arms, gloves, legs, and shoes. The mascot stands at the upper left, pointing toward large text that reads, “ClassDojo is FREE for Families!” Beneath it, a message says, “You do NOT need to pay monthly fees to stay connected.”  The lower half of the flyer has two large information panels. The green “Free Features” panel lists: message the teacher, view class stories, check school stories, get event reminders, and see behavior points and photos. A large yellow badge at the bottom says, “100% Free.”  The blue “How to Skip the Payment Screen” panel gives three steps: look for the “X,” tap “No thanks,” or tap “Not now.” A smartphone illustration shows a ClassDojo Plus screen with the X, “No thanks,” and “Not now” options highlighted. A yellow message box states, “You are never required to pay to use ClassDojo with our school.”  A blue banner across the bottom reads, “Stay connected with your child’s class at no cost.” The background includes a sunny school setting, stars, books, pencils, and blue-and-yellow school-themed decorations.
