What Is Schoology?

All of our classes are offered on a learning platform called Schoology (pronounced: Skoo’-luh-jee). Students can access their courses, assignments, and live lessons taught by their teachers all in the same place.

 

How Do We Access Schoology?

There are two ways:

  • Go to: mcpss.schoology.com. (Note: do not put www in front of the web address).
  • Or, you can go to mcpss.com. Click on the “Our Students” icon at the top of the page. This will direct you to the Clever page, where you can click “Log In With Active Directory” to access Schoology.

 

 How Do We Log On To Schoology?

Students log on to Schoology with their school-issued email address and password as follows:

  • Username: Your child’s first, middle and last initial, followed by the  last 6 digits of his or her ID#, and @stu.mcpss.com

    Can I Access Schoology From A Tablet Or Phone?

    Yes. You will not have access to as many features as you would if you were using a laptop. But students, particularly those in early elementary grades, may prefer using a tablet.

     

    How Will My Child Access His/Her Classes On Schoology?

    Once a student is logged on to Schoology, he or she will see a dashboard with icons representing each of the courses he or she is taking this quarter.

    How Can I Keep Up With My Child’s Progress?

    Where Can I Go For Academic Help?
