Schoology 101: Parent Edition
A Guide to Getting Started with Schoology
Why Schoology?
Step 1: Set up your parent account
Schoology parent access is enabled to allow parents to view student courses using their own Schoology credentials.
Why should you create an account?
The purpose of creating a Parent Account is to keep you informed of your child's learning experience, while also providing all students with anonymity as student names will be removed from course information.

Step 2: Understand your access
When you sign up for a free Schoology parent account, you will have access to two different views.
- Personal Account: allows you to interact in courses/groups as a parent--please know that our district does not currently permit parents to join student courses and groups.
- Child Activity View: allows you to view courses/groups that your child is enrolled in, so you are truly viewing the course/group as your student. Please note, you will not be able to interact in course activities or discussions, nor make submissions on your child's behalf.
