Parent Homework the First Week
- Access to Focus and Schoology: Parents will need to create a parent account with the same e-mail address they provided to their school to sign up. Directions are attached below. Parents must be marked in Focus as having educational access to gain access to their student’s information. It will take up to 30 minutes to gain access to Focus and up to 48 hours to access Schoology. There is a link within Focus that will take parents directly to Schoology. If a parent clicks the Schoology link before the connection is established, the parent will receive an error message. Parents can contact the main office to resolve any issues with this process.
- Annual Student Information Review: Parents must complete the Annual Student Information Review Form through the Parent Portal in Focus for EACH child. Once you have created your account (above), parents will log onto the parent portal and follow the prompts to complete the form. Directions are attached.
