Schoology
Schoology is an online classroom communication and networking site. This site allows teachers to communicate with students in a manner that they are comfortable with (it's a lot like Facebook). There are a number of high school (7-12th grade) teachers that are trying this for the first time during the 2011-2012 school year.
If, as a parent, you are intersted in using this tool to communicate with teachers and see what it's like you will need an access code for each class that your student is in. Please e-mail the teachers directly for the Parent access codes.
Teachers trying it out this year so far are:
Ms. Christianson
Mrs. Hartman
Mrs. Hoyt
Mr. Soland
Mr. Woodman
