Getting Started with Schoology

Accessing your Schoology Parent Account

Schoology logo

Use the Parent login link provided in the message in your PowerSchool Parent Portal, or also available on the Parents page of the ACPS website.  If you are an ACPS employee and used your k12albemarle email address to create your PowerSchool Parent Portal account, you will use your existing Schoology account to view your student's information (more information is posted on the LMS Support page for staff)

  • This is NOT the same link your student will use to log in
  • The username is the email address used to create your PowerSchool Parent Portal account
  • The temporary password is found in the message in your PowerSchool Parent Portal

Change your password when you log in

  • In the top right corner of the screen, in dropdown under your/your student's name, select Settings
  • On the Account Settings tab, scroll down to the Account Password section and click the Change your password link
  • Follow the instructions in the popup and click Submit

Parents can change between their personal profile and their student's information by changing the name in the dropdown in the top right corner of your Schoology screen. If you have more than one student you can select another name here as well.

Using your Schoology Parent Account

  1. Recent activity from across your student's courses will display on the Student Activity page
