Schoology is our primary communication tool for all students and is critical in grades K though 12 as parents check grades. Please make sure your parents have their parent access codes. You can easily see which students have parents associated with them in class roster.

Teachers should ensure they are meeting these minimal requirements for using Schoology.

Please encourage your parents to join Schoology using their parent access codes often at the beginning of the school year. If they had one from the previous year, they should not need to do anything this year.

At the current time the School District of Pickens County has subscriptions for the following Gale Products that can be integrated into Schoology. Click here for more directions.

A description for each product is below.

No matter what grade level or subject that you teach, there is likely a digital resource available that accompanies the digital text. These resources offer teachers and students a variety of enrichment activities and, in some instances, the digital textbooks are available as well. This Smore will help guide educators in best practices in unpacking and utilization of these digital resources.

SDPC provides learning tools that have been vetted for the level of quality and alignment with SC standards, interoperability with our systems, and internet safety requirements. Only approved technology resources should be used.

Free or unapproved apps may not meet the same guidelines. Some free apps collect student data, ask for payment, contain advertisements not suited for K-12 students, and require students to be hand rostered.

AITS staff members are often asked how students can access their online textbooks. Unfortunately, students do not have access because teachers have never activated the course materials. It is therefore VERY important to take a few minutes to do this step EVEN if you do not plan to utilize the digital sources yourself, students will.
