Student Schoology Guide
   Neshannock Township School District

       We would like to welcome all of our students back to the 2020-2021 school
year. To ensure a successful implementation of our learning goals, Junior/Senior
High School students will utilize our new learning management system,
Schoology.

       Schoology is an online platform that will allow your teachers to digitally
distribute class materials, assignments, and assessments. You will be expected to
use Schoology to log your attendance each day you are learning virtually, as well
as to access your class materials during the school day.

       For a productive and successful start to the school year, it is essential that
you familiarize yourself with the Schoology learning management system prior to
the first day of school. It will be necessary for all students to login to Schoology
and utilize its functions beginning September 8, 2020. Please review the topics
below by watching each of the instructional videos. To access these videos, click
on the “Click Here to Watch Video” buttons below.

 The materials in this training are subject to change based on the development or revision of
                        District policies and governmental regulations.
