Parent Directions on How to Setup Your Schoology Account and Connect it to Your Children
Keywords: parent, schoology, student, mobile Aliases: parent schoology account Parent Accounts in Schoology, Parent Help Doc updated Parent Accounts in Schoology, Parent Help Doc in Spanish updated Parent Accounts in Schoology 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 For more information go to: Schoology Parent Guide Information for installing and using Schoology’s Mobile App: Note: Please create your parent account online first, including adding children to your account, prior to installing and using the mobile app. Android Mobile App for Parents iOS Mobile App (Parents) Mobile App (Students)

Navigate Parent Schoology Account (Video for Parents)
Keywords: parent, schoology, student, courses Aliases: parent schoology account This video will show parents how to navigate to see Courses in which their child is a member. <span class="fr-mk" style="display: none;"> </span> The video titled "Navigating Parent Schoology Account" by Donna Squires is a tutorial aimed at helping parents navigate their Schoology accounts and understand the distinction between their personal courses and accessing their child’s courses. Here's a summary: Personal Courses for Parents: Upon logging into Schoology, parents will see tabs for 'Courses', 'Groups', and 'Resources'. The 'Courses' tab will likely show that the parent is not enrolled in any courses. These would be courses personally enrolled in by the parent, which is not common. Future Development of Parent Courses: Squires mentions the possibility of developing courses specifically for parents in the future and invites feedback on what types of courses parents would be interested in. Joining Courses and Groups: Parents cannot join a course with an access code given to students because they are not students in the district. However, some schools may create groups specifically for parents, which can be joined with a provided access code. Using Resources: The 'Resources' tab is for parents to save files or information they want to access later. Viewing Student’s Courses: To view a child's courses, parents need to click on their name and then select their student’s name. This allows them to see the courses the student is enrolled in, materials shared by teachers, the calendar of events, and specific types of materials like assignments or discussions. Viewing Permissions: As a parent, you can view but not submit or edit anything in the student's courses. This view-only access allows parents to see what the student sees and follow up with teachers if needed. Accessing Groups and Grades: Parents can also view updates and materials in any groups their child is a member of. For grades, while not all teachers may use Schoology's gradebook, PowerSchool remains the official gradebook for the district, and parents should use the Parent Portal in PowerSchool for grades and report cards. Managing Multiple Students: If parents have more than one student, they can add them to their Schoology account using the parent access code provided by the child's teacher. Switching Between Parent and Student Views: To switch back to their own parent account, parents can click on their name. This tutorial provides parents with a clear understanding of how to navigate their Schoology account, view their child’s academic information, and manage their own resources and potential group memberships.
