Schoology (Learning Management System)
What is it?
Schoology is our Learning Management System (LMS) primarily for grades 6-12. Schoology is where our teachers host much of their day-to-day classwork, resources and assignments. Schoology is like a class website. It is an extension of a teacher’s classroom online and acts as a repository of class resources used by students every day. Parents may wish to use Schoology to:
- View more detailed grades. Please note that each teacher uses Schoology grading differently. Not all assignments may be required.
- View student coursework such as upcoming, late or missing assignments
- Help students by reviewing course materials and resources.
- Send messages to teachers
Please note that parent access to Schoology is read-only and not all resources are available for parents to see directly.
How do I access it?
In order to protect our students, an access code is required to see your students' information. You may have received an email with this access code. You can also access your code from the PowerSchool parent portal. It is located in the "Other Information" section from the left-side menu.
