The Windsor and Maine-Endwell districts both purchase the enterprise version of Schoology. This means that your grade book (eSchool and SchoolTool, respectively) syncs with Schoology regularly (daily, hourly, etc.). This sync is what automatically creates your courses in Schoology, and enrolls the correct students in each course.
