Schoology- Students can access Schooology using their login and password through the Launchpad link. Students can use their Chromebook to access Launchpad or enter the link above in an internet browser (i.e. Chrome, Safari, Firefox).
We recommend parents and students bookmark this Launchpad link on your home computers for easy access away from the district-issued Chromebook. Students are only able to use the Launchpad web link at this time.
Parents will continue to access Schoology using Schoology.com and entering the parent username and password you created when you set up your account. Parents can also use the Schoology app on an app-enabled device.
PowerSchool- Students and parents can access PowerSchool through the web or the app. Parents can contact the office for PowerSchool account information. Students will use their district username and password to access PowerSchool grades and attendance information. Powerschool can also be found in the Launchpad for easy access by students.
