Technology Resources for Parents

“We already knew that kids learned computer technology more easily than adults. It is as if children were waiting all these centuries for someone to invent their native language.” – Jaron Lanier

Schoology for Parents

Schoology is our new Learning Management System (LMS), the online system that allows teachers to provide resources, make and grade assignments, communicate valuable feedback, and more. Students will use Schoology to access and explore learning materials, practice skills, take assessments, submit work, and more.

Schoology is provided by the Alabama State Department of Education as part of a state-wide adoption of the Powerschool line of products and services, including the PowerSchool Student Information System (SIS).  This will be our first year using Schoology district-wide.  We have been using Google Classroom for the past few years and are looking forward to this incorporation of more Powerschool tools.  -

Notes:

  • Parent Access Codes are unique to each student but can be used to make multiple parent accounts. 
  • If your Parent Access Code does not allow you to register or if the code does not have 12 digits, please contact your child's instructor or school for more information.

Parents must have an account at each of their children's schools. For example, if you have one child at a high school in one district, and another child at a middle school in a different district, you must have accounts at both districts and link your accounts together together. Linking accounts enables you to toggle between two or more accounts without having to log out and back in. Each district separately manages your parent accounts and can then communicate with you as necessary.
