Schoology is a digital learning platform used in Park Hill classrooms to organize classwork and support instruction. Teachers may use Schoology to share materials, assign and collect work, give assessments, and support student collaboration in a secure online environment.
In Park Hill School District, Schoology is used in middle school and high school. In grades second through fifth, teachers may use either Schoology or Seesaw, depending on instructional needs.
A Schoology parent account provides read‑only access to your child’s learning information. Families can view classroom content and activity but cannot submit work or participate in assignments on behalf of a student.
Schoology supports family awareness and communication, but it may not reflect every classroom activity. For questions about specific assignments, grading practices, or course expectations, families should contact their student’s teacher directly.
Schoology is not the official system of record for grades and attendance. Families should refer to the Infinite Campus Parent Portal for the most accurate and up‑to‑date grade and attendance information.
Parents and guardians access Schoology using a Parent Access Code from the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. This code connects your Schoology account to your student’s courses.
Please note that not all teachers use Schoology or use it to the same extent. If you have questions about how Schoology is used in a specific class, contact your student’s teacher.

Navigating Schoology
Once you are signed in, the top navigation bar helps you move through Schoology. From this menu, families can access key areas such as Courses, Groups, and Resources.
Selecting Schoology Learning will return you to your home page, where you can view the Recent Activity feed. This area displays class updates and activity in chronological order, making it easier to follow what’s new.
When you are viewing your primary Schoology parent account (your name selected, not your child’s name), icons for messages and notifications appear in the top navigation bar. These alerts provide access to communication and updates related to you or your child’s school.
You can also select your name in the top‑right corner to view your profile and account options.
Viewing Your Child’s Activity
To view student‑specific information, select your child’s name from the menu in the upper‑right corner. Depending on how a teacher uses Schoology, families may see some or all of the following areas:
Student activity, showing recent submissions and updates
Course enrollments, listing the classes your child is enrolled in
If grades are not entered in Schoology, grade values may appear blank
Selecting a course opens details such as assignments, tests, discussions, and materials

Grade reports, allowing families to view assignment‑level grades when used
Calendar views, showing past and upcoming assignments or events

Manage notification and communication preferences
To access Account Settings, select your name in the upper‑right corner of the screen and choose Settings from the menu.
NOtifications

Parent Email Digest
Schoology offers a Parent Email Digest that summarizes a student’s activity and is delivered by email.
To receive a Parent Email Digest, families must first select the individual student for whom they want to receive the digest. This is done from the name menu in the upper‑right corner of the screen. When a student is selected, a check mark appears next to their name.
After selecting the student:
Choose Settings.
Select Notifications.
Select 'On' for Email Summary.
Choose daily or weekly delivery.
Select preferred days and times.
Enable alerts for overdue assignments, if desired.
Be sure to select Save Changes after updating preferences.
Because teachers use Schoology in different ways, the Parent Email Digest may not include every assignment, grade, or activity.
