CFES Trail Guide for Parents
Blazing the trail to excellence
Week of September 14th
Happy Tuesday Creekside Forest Community. Thank you all so much for a great first week of the 2020-2021 School Year. It was so wonderful to see all of our cougars in person and on screen and officially welcome them back. We had a wonderful four days on campus. Thank you for your encouragement, flexibility, grace and positivity. Thank you for sharing your children with us and for trusting us with their education. As we continue to navigate through new waters with safety protocols on campus and technology protocols in Tomball Virtual School, thank you all for your patience and support. We will get through this! Please reach out if there is anything we can do to assist along the way.
Have a great week and please continue to take care of yourself and each other.
Sincerely,
Sherri Trammell
CFES Camp Director

SCHOOLOGY
TISD Information about Schoology:
- Schoology enables our students, parents, and teachers to engage with learning materials and their school community from the classroom and beyond. We look forward to using Schoology in our classrooms to enhance connectivity and communication. As a parent, you will be able to view your child’s activity within the platform. We value your participation in your child’s education, and we encourage you to read Schoology’s Privacy Policy & Terms of Use at https://www.schoology.com/privacy.
To sign up for a new Schoology account, go to Parent Schoology Login and click Parent.
The district sent your child's 12 digit access code last Friday via email. Codes can also be found in the Home Access Center.
Fill out the form to create an account that will be linked to your child
Click Register to complete. Once you log in, you will be able to browse your child’s courses. If you have additional children attending Tomball ISD schools you can add them to your account using the Add Child button from the top right dropdown menu. You will receive a different Access Code for each child enrolled in Tomball ISD. When you use an Access Code to create an account, you are automatically associated with your child and can toggle between your parent account and children’s accounts.
Students will access Schoology by logging into ClassLink and entering their 6 digit student ID number as the username, and “tisd” followed by their 8 digit birthdate as their password. From ClassLink, click on the Schoology icon to enter Schoology and access courses. The 6 digit student ID number can be found in Home Access Center.
We will continue to add additional resources throughout next week on the district website to assist you with logging in. If you have trouble logging into Schoology, we will have our Helpdesk available to you to assist by phone; 281-357-3052 x 4001 or by email at helpdesk@tomballisd.net.
