Teaching and Learning is excited to announce the use of Schoology and the Parent Access Pilot.Schoology (pronounced/skoo-luh-jee/) is already being piloted on some campuses and will be implemented district wide next year.
It offers teachers and students multiple avenues for collaboration, communication, assessment, submitting assignments and discussion boards. For more on Schoology and the idea of a Learning Management System, please view the following video.

Parent access allows for a "view only" approach to the course content. Parents will be able to view any assignments, discussions, completed assessments, calendar updates, or content that is shared by their child's teachers. Schoology also enhances teacher and parent communication by allowing direct contact (or communication) through the platform.
Though teachers may take some grades in Schoology through submitted assignments or assessments,Skywardwill still be the official record for grades.
Please note- The procedure for setting up your Schoology account has you navigating through the "forgot password" process. Since the account is drawn from your Skyward Family Access information using the "forgot password" option is the quickest and most efficient means for parents to access their username, password and account. In addition, if you have students at multiple schools within Fort Bend ISD you will see each child within your Schoology account but the usage may vary based on if their campus is a pilot campus.
