Schoology Resources for Parents

Welcome to Schoology

Schoology Parent Tour Johnstown-Monroe
Beginning with 2020-2021 school year, all Johnstown-Monroe students and families will have access to Schoology, an integrated learning management solution that provides course management, mobile learning, and support for system-wide communication.
 
With Schoology, students can digitally submit homework, review grades, participate in interactive discussions, receive announcements, and feedback, take tests, write academic blogs, and more.  As a parent, you will be able to view your student's activity and classes within the platform by creating a parent account.

For parents of students in the Johnnie Learning Academy, please see the help sections below for navigating the parent portal for Schoology. If you have specific questions about your student's class(es), please contact the teacher of that class. For more information about JLA, contact your building principal.

While Schoology may be the platform for this year's Johnnie Learning Academy, your student's teachers may be utilizing Schoology for their face-to-face classes as well.
