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

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 checkmark in this drop-down menu indicates which account you are currently viewing.
Adding Children to your account
Once you create an account in Schoology for a child, you can add additional children that belong to the same district to your account:
Log in to your Schoology account using your username or email address and password.
Click the arrow next to your name in the top-right corner.
Click the Add Child button.
Enter the Child Code for the child you're adding. This is the same as your Parent Access Code, the 12-digit code in a xxxx-xxxx-xxxx format that you received from one of your child's instructors.
If your code does not look like this code, contact your child's instructor or school.
Click Use Code to complete.
