Schoology to replace Blackboard starting in August 2021

Dear Charger Community,

I am excited to share that students, families, and teachers throughout FCPS and in our school community will use Schoology (pronounced /SKOO-luh-jee/) as our learning management system beginning Fall 2021.

  • Starting in July 2021, we will not use Blackboard 24-7 Learning or            Blackboard Collaborate Ultra (BBCU)
  • Schoology has a connected web conferencing tool, Zoom
  • Schoology works with Google Drive
  • You need a SIS/ParentVUE account to login to Schoology: http://bit.ly/FCPSSIS
  • You can learn more about Schoology: https://www.fcps.edu/schoology
  • Parent accounts will be available in mid-August
  • Information about how to login to parent accounts will be shared in August
  • Students have a Schoology account effective June 18, 2021
  • Students will not see any classes until the start of the school year
  • Students use their FCPS student ID and password to login to Schoology:
    https://lms.fcps.edu. Look for the FCPS logo to make sure you are on the correct login page.

Schoology is a learning space that enhances communication, collaboration, and personalized learning for students, teachers, and families. As a parent or guardian, you will be able to use Schoology to view:

  • your child's classes
  • your child’s assignments and participation
  • your child’s calendar
  • teacher comments, scores, and feedback

We are asking that you:

  • Make sure you have registered for a SIS/ParentVUE account: http://bit.ly/FCPSSIS
  • Learn more about Schoology: https://www.fcps.edu/schoology
  • Look for the next communication about how to login to Schoology

We look forward to using Schoology as we launch the 2021-22 school year.  Until then, happy summer!

Sincerely,

Scott Poole, Principal
