9. 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.
