See attached for help doc on how to make courses in Schoology unique to your. class. This makes it very helpful to know which specific course (and which grading period course) you are working in.
* PSD Courses for students are created through PowerSchool. You should NOT change the "Course Name". Doing so will cause confusion in how the Course Name is displayed for others that are instructors and members of that overarching Course, and will also mess up the future PowerSchool sync.
Example; There are 4 teachers that teach Kindergarten in a particular building. ATTENDANCE KINDERGARTEN is the main overarching course with 4 sections (one for each teacher). If one teacher changes the Course Name to Mr. John Doe's K Kids, it will show as "Mr. John Doe's K Kids" for ALL the kindergarten courses at that school.
Instead, change the section name of the course. This allows you to create a unique ID for your course while not affecting other teachers. Please see Graphics below for further clarification:
