Directions for Parents

Teachers in the Peninsula School District will be using Schoology with their students as a Learning Management System. This interface allows teachers and students to collaborate with each other and interact inside and outside of the four walls of the classroom. You can create a Schoology account and link it to your child’s account so that you can monitor your child’s progress, see their course materials, submissions, and grades. The directions detailed below will walk you through the process of setting up a Schoology account and linking it to your child’s account. This is a one-time setup and will remain active the entire time your child is enrolled in the Peninsula School District.

Acquire your child’s unique Parent Access Code. Each teacher using Schoology has access to this code. You will only need to enter the access code once, not for every course.

Options for gaining the Parent Access Code:

Parent Access Codes can be accessed within the Parent Portal.
Contact your child's teacher for your child's unique Parent Access Code. Parents of middle and/or high school students only need to contact one of your child's teachers.

Go to www.schoology.com.
Enter the Parent Access Code provided by your child’s teacher. Don’t have a Parent Access Code? Please request one from your child’s teacher.
You will need to create a Schoology account for yourself by entering your name, email address, and creating a password. You may also want to uncheck the box for Receive periodic Schoology updates. Click Register.

Congratulations! You should now have a Schoology account that is connected to your child’s account.

Having a Parent account in Schoology is actually like having two accounts:

Your personal account, with your own name and information;
Your Child Activity view. From here, you can view Schoology from your child’s perspective, and see what he or she sees, and receive updates about his or her activity.

Start by clicking on the down arrow in the upper-right corner, next to your name, and then select your child’s name to switch into his or her account. The green checkmark in the drop-down menu indicates which account you are currently viewing.

Once in your account, click on the dropdown next to your name.
You may select any student associated with your account to see their Courses, Groups, Grades, and Calendar
You may also Add a Child from this dropdown menu
