REMINDER: Schoology Parent Access Goes Live This Friday!!!
Are you ready? Are your courses in tip top shape?
With a Schoology Parent Account, parents will have access to:
The classes in which their child is enrolled
Their child's upcoming assignments
School and class announcements
Tasks to complete before Friday:
- Edit our course banner in each course (you only need to do this once in a linked course)
- Align learning objectives to your course materials so students/parents can track student strengths and needs
If you need help with these tasks or have any other Schoology questions, please stop by Office 1222 with your teacher tablet during your conference period Wednesday.
