Schoology is our learning management system for grades 4-12
Starting in the fourth grade, students get a Google account. This account is used to access cloud storage with Google Drive. Teachers and students can collaborate using three major Google apps: Docs, Sheets, and Slides. Their Google account is also used to log into different online services vetted by the school division, including Schoology.
Students are not issued a Gmail account until the 9th grade. Students can message their teachers instead through Schoology. With a parent account, you can see what your child sees within the Schoology environment.

School-igy is used by teachers to organize digital content for your child. In some ways, Schoology can act like a digital Trapper Keeper to organize notes, links to online activities, but also as a collection and assessment tool. Teachers can use Schoology to host online discussions, post quizzes, collect assignments, and pass feedback and grades back to students. Students can also develop their own online portfolio within Schoology.
In addition to the school-y things we can do with Schoology in- and outside the classroom, Schoology can also be used to communicate with students and with parents. Through class or group updates, or through private messages, the platform is a secure and safe method for sharing both messages and detailed feedback to students.
As a parent, you can setup your own Schoology account. When you create your account, you will need a parent access code to connect with your child. Parents of elementary students can receive the code from your child's teacher. This will connect you within Schoology with your child. You can access Schoology via the web or via their apps for iOS and Android.
Students assigned an iPad should use the Schoology App. These directions will work on any device using the Schoology app.
Students can also login using Goochland.Schoology.com on any web browser on any device.
