Welcome Parents!

As a reminder, If you are new to the district, need your login information, or need your child connected to your account please reach out to technology@orono.k12.mn.us.

***If you would like to be able to view specific assignments we encourage you to sit down with your child, have them login and show you their assignments. At this time you are not able to see a lot of google drive documents because of google's privacy settings***

Schoology Parent Access

Orono Schools uses Schoology as its learning management system. Schoology enables our students, parents and teachers to engage with learning materials and their school community from the classroom and beyond.

With Schoology, students can digitally submit homework assignments, review grades, participate in interactive discussions, receive announcements and feedback, take tests, write academic blogs, and more. As a parent, you will be able to view your child’s activity within the platform.

Note: While you may see scores for some assignments and assessments within the Schoology application, all official grade, attendance, report card information will be found in ParentVUE.

Parent Account Compared To A Child's Account


Having a Parent account in Schoology is actually like having two accounts:

  1. Your personal account, with your own name and information;

  2. Your Child Activity view. From here, you can view Schoology from your child’s perspective, and see what he or she sees, and receive updates about his or her activity.

Start by clicking on the arrow in the upper-right corner, next to your name, and then select your child’s name to switch into his or her account. The check mark in this drop-down menu indicates which account you are currently viewing.

  • If you would like to view assignments we encourage parents to sit down with their child and have them login to their account.

  • A lot of assignments parents are not able to see because of the way google has their permissions set up.


Viewing your Child's Activity

Click on the arrow in the upper-right corner of your account and select your child’s name to view his or her activity. From the home page, you can quickly view specific information about your child’s Schoology activity: Courses they are enrolled in, groups, Student activity, overdue, upcoming **Reminder official grades are in parentvue only.

From the home page, you can quickly view specific information about your child’s Schoology activity:

1. The Student Activity area in the center of the page displays your child’s recent submission, grade, and attendance information.

2. Toggle into Enrollments in the same area to see a list of the courses your child is currently enrolled in, along with his or her grade. If the teacher or administrator has chosen not to display the grade while the course is in progress, you will see a blank value (as in the grade column above). Click on an individual course to see grades received on assignments, tests, and discussions from that course.
