Parent Access

Schoology Overview

Schoology is the learning management system and parent communication tool that West Shore School District has selected for grades 5-12. Schoology is used in addition to PowerSchool. While PowerSchool is the student information system that houses student data and grades, Schoology is a learning management system, which is a classroom tool that allows teachers to organize their coursework for students to easily access anytime, anywhere. Parents have access to see their student's courses so they are aware of what is happening in their classes throughout the year. The tutorials below will walk you through accessing Schoology, signing up for notifications, and navigating around your student's courses.
