Schoology

Schoology Basics This is the first year elementary schools are using Schoology For each reporting period, elementary teachers are only required to enter: three grades in language arts three grades in math one grade for each of the other subjects such as social studies, science, physical education, and health. These grades are just a snapshot of the student’s progress. Teachers will still consider the whole picture before assigning final grades. Pilot phase... We will let you know when Schoology has full functionality Teachers should emphasize that we are really just getting our feet wet this year. Any grades posted on Schoology are not necessarily a reflection of the students’ overall progress.
