What Should I Expect in Schoology?
When a teacher uses Schoology as an instructional tool, parents can expect to view:
The learning experience delivered through the LMS platform which will include a link to the live Google Meet, course materials, instructions, digital assignments, links to resources, and videos.
Note: Google Docs, Google Slides, Google Sheets, etc. are not viewable to parents because Google access is restricted to students and teachers.
Your child’s activity in the course, including but not limited to:
Submitted and missing assignments.
Posts (text and media) your child created.
If a teacher uses Schoology as a communication tool, parents can expect the following:
Classroom communication such as announcements about assignments and classroom updates
GCPS systemic communications such as school closings will still be shared through School Messanger, your home School, and through the GCPS website.
What to remember as you engage with Schoology:
Students must be logged in to Chrome with their GCPS credentials to have the best Schoology experience.
