Need HELP with SCHOOLOGY
Many parents don’t realize that they can receive an email of their child’s progress from Schoology. They can choose which days and times they would like to get the update! For example, daily at 2:30 PM OR every Thursday at 4:00. This and other helpful tips can be found by clicking on Schoology at the top of our SDPC webpage!
