Phillips Pirate Parent Compass for Online Learning
Welcome to School Year 2020-2021!
Hello new and returning parents! This site is designed to support you as we navigate Schoology, the Learning Management System (LMS) used for all MCPSS schools this year. We heard your concerns about the number of platforms used for checking grades, communicating with teachers, conducting virtual conferences, and submitting students' work. Schoology is considered a "one-stop-shop" that allows us to handle all of those tasks on ONE platform.
The district has created a site to support parents as well. It details our MCPSS Roadmap to Reopening Schools and provides resources for parents and learners. To access it, click the following link: https://acp.mcpss.com/home.
An active partnership between school and home is needed to promote continuity of learning for our students. Let us collaborate and innovate to ensure our students' success!

Zoom Parent Meeting 6th Grade 8.20.20.mp46th grade Parent Meeting via Zoom
A Zoom Parent Meeting is scheduled for Thursday, August 20th. Parents of incoming 6th graders are invited to attend. This will be an opportunity for you to meet your child’s teachers, hear about the Schoology online learning platform, and view the schedule for the distribution of student resources (laptops, Wi-Fi hotspots, textbooks, Ready math and reading workbooks, and student planners).
A link for the Zoom meeting will be emailed to parents this Wednesday. The link should allow you to join the meeting directly, but you may want to download the free Zoom app prior to the meeting at www.zoom.us. As soon as you join the meeting on Thursday, please go to the chat room and type your child’s first and last name. This will allow us to identify parents who may miss the meeting.
