What Is Schoology?

Schoology (pronounced school-ogy) is an online tool that manages curriculum, assessments, grading and other classroom management tasks and is also a communication platform for educators and students in K-12.

Parents may have an account that can be linked with their children's accounts. When parents log in, they will see a Facebook-like interface that links them to the District Schoology page as well as the school pages where their children attend and each child's classroom.

This tool will be an integral part of how teachers design and implement their lesson plans, assignments and grades. They will use it to post updates to their class and communicate with parents. Parents will be able to see what their children are working on and have access to their grades through Schoology.

Schoology Mobile App

Schoology also has a convenient mobile app that can be downloaded and used on mobile phones, tablets, and iPads! This app can be found in the Google Play and iTunes stores.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do parents have to set up their own accounts?

A: Yes, parents/guardians need to register for their own accounts in Schoology. When parents register to create their own accounts in Schoology, part of the registration process is to enter in your child’s access code. Schoology uses this access code to associate your parent account with Rock Creek School’s Schoology portal and to link your new parent account with your child.

Q: Do I need to set up an account for my child?

A: No. All active RC students automatically have a Schoology account. Students can go to the RC website to find the Schoology on their Teacher's site. Students will then need to log into their Google account to access Schoology.

Q: I don’t understand what my child’s access code is for?

A: Schoology creates a unique access code for each student account. The purpose of this access code is to allow parents to link their personal Schoology account with that of their child(ren).

Q: How do I get my child’s access code?

A: Parent letters with your child’s access code are sent home from each school at the beginning of the school year. If you did not receive a letter or have lost the code, you can request it from the school office or your child's teacher.

Q: Why do I need my child’s access code to set up my parent Schoology account?

A: When parents register to create their own accounts in Schoology, part of the registration process is to enter in your child’s access code. Schoology uses this access code to associate your parent account with Rock Creek's Schoology portal and to link your new parent account with your child.

Q: When going through the registration process, do I enter in my child’s name in the box?

A: No, when registering for your parent Schoology account, you enter in your information in the box, not your child’s. Your child already has a Schoology account. Schoology will use the access you’ve entered in to associate your new parent account with Rock Creek's Schoology portal and to link your new parent account with your child.

Q: How do I register for a parent account?

A: Use the following steps to register for your parent account:

In your browser, navigate to www.schoology.com.
In the top right corner of the screen, click the Sign Up button.
Select Parent from the options
Enter the Access Code for your child that was sent home from their school.
Fill out the information for your new Schoology account (your email address and the password you want to use for your Schoology account) and click “Register.”

Q: Do I create a parent account for each of my children?

A: No, if you have multiple children, you create a single parent account with 1 child’s code. After you have created your account, you can link the rest of your children to your account within Schoology by clicking on the arrow in the top left corner by your name and selecting +Add Child. Enter in another child’s code in the box, click “USE CODE” and they will now be linked to your account. You can link each child in your family to your account in this manner.
