What is Schoology? Pronounced /skoo-luh-jee/

Schoology is a Learning Management System (LMS) that helps students, parents, and teachers stay organized and connected. Schoology is like a teacher’s website where announcements, lessons, videos, special dates, discussions, and pictures can all be posted. It allows teachers to post assignments, share resources, and communicate with students while allowing parents to view their child’s grades, upcoming assignments, and progress. Through Schoology, parents can stay informed and involved in their child’s education, ensuring they are on track with their learning and classroom activities.

How do parents access Schoology?

Parents receive a 9- to 12-alpha-numeric join code linked to their child.  An email was sent to our newest Casey Parents on  Monday, Sept 16th. Parents go to www.schoology.com and create an account using that join code.  Multiple parents can use the same join code to be connected to their children.  Creating your parent Schoology account is only done once.  Your account, linked to your child, will allow you to follow your child's courses and groups throughout their educational career at Red Bank Catholic High School.

 

 

 

What is PowerSchool?

PowerSchool is a student information system (SIS) that helps schools manage and track student data, such as attendance, grades, schedules, and more. It provides teachers, students, and parents with a centralized platform to monitor academic progress, attendance records, and report cards. Parents can use PowerSchool to stay up-to-date with their child’s performance, access grades in real time, and receive important school communications. This tool helps enhance communication between Red Bank Catholic and families.

 What is Naviance?

 Naviance is a college and career readiness platform for schools that helps students connect their academic achievements to their post-secondary goals. It provides students with tools to help them: 

• Research colleges and careers 

• Discover their strengths and learning styles

• Create goals and to-dos

• Find colleges that match their career goals

• Track the status of their letters of recommendation

How do parents access Naviance?

The guidance department adds students and parents to Naviance once they are completely registered and enrolled at RBC. Then, parents and students receive an email from Naviance to register with a temporary password, which should then be changed to a personal password. The individual username will always be the initial personal email used when registering in PowerSchool. Access to Naviance is at https://id.naviance.com/. 

Parents use Naviance to monitor their child's activity on the platform. Students can complete surveys and inventories, update college information, and more through their student accounts. Guidance also uses Naviance to send bulk emails to various groups of students/parents.
