Parents & Schoology

1/13/2016

 
Picture
Your child has been using Schoology to communicate with his/her teacher and classmates this year.  This communication tool has many benefits, such as allowing teachers to post assignments online so students can access them from anywhere, and giving students the opportunity to participate in class discussions with their teachers and classmates.  Another benefit is that parents can create their own accounts so they can see their child's Schoology account.  Creating your own parent account will give you access to the materials and updates your child's teacher has posted, such as homework assignments, test dates, study packets, and more.  Check out the information below and feel free to ask any questions in the comments sections.

Signing Up for a Parent Account


Getting to Know Schoology

When you first log in to Schoology, you will see your account's Home Page.  This page shows a feed of recent activity, like updates and upcoming school events.  This information will be pertinent to your account, but you won't see your child's content.  To view your child's activity, follow these directions:
  1. Click on the downfacing arrow on the top right of your Schoology account.
  2. Below your name, you'll see the name of the child associated with your account. If you have linkedaccounts in Schoology, you'll see your linked account and associated children in this dropdown as well.
  3. To view the activity of a particular child, click the child's name from the dropdown menu.

Upcoming
On the right column of the Summary page, the Upcoming area displays a list of approaching events and graded items in the child's school, courses, and groups. To view more details about the item, click on the name of the item from the list.

Calendar (Left Menu)
This calendar displays events and items with due dates in the child's school, courses, and groups.  To find out more information regarding a particular event, place your cursor over the title. A cluetip will appear with the event type (assignment, test/quiz, event), the course or group that the event is associated with, and the child's name that is associated with that event. Clicking on the event will display profile information in a popup window.
