  • ATTN: ALL STUDENTS – MANY of you are still getting counted absent on Fridays! Remember that Fridays are STILL an academic school day. If you are working from your phones on Fridays, you MUST login to Schoology. If you open the app and are NOT prompted to login, then LOGOUT and then LOG BACK IN. Get into the habit of logging OUT each day. The school MUST have a timestamp of you logging in and out EACH Friday and anytime you are a virtual or remote student. Thank you!
