I just uploaded a tutorial on Schoology for how to log into InSync to find your child’s math quiz. When you click on the link in Schoology, please click on the blue hyper link at the top so that you do not need to enter a passcode.

If your child has already completed it, please disregard this. However, you may want to still log into InSync to check that it is completed. I see many students whose quizzes are still “active” which means they did not complete all the questions or did not click <review> and <finish>.

Thanks for all your support as we work through these new programs together. This was my first time using the site as well and so I appreciated student feedback as well as the parents that logged into Zoom to work with me through their end of things.

Good morning,

You may have received an email this morning from Mr. Troy Patterson that involves a username and password for Schoology. This is to access your parent account on the website. Here are some tips that were sent to us.

Parents go to a different URL than students. – Parents will go to https://app.schoology.com *- Students (and teachers) will still go to https://dearbornschools.schoology.com

Once the parents login in, they should change their password. (Their user name will be the same as their Parent Connect user name with a P before the number. Thus, if their Parent Connect user name is 1234567, their Schoology user name will be p1234567). 

There is a post with information for parents on the Home Learning Hub (including a translated version of the email). 

Parents,

If your child is coming to the school for any reason, please refer to this checklist as you screen for any symptoms.

*Subject to change depending on district and classroom needs.

Good morning,

This weekend I worked to try and make Schoology easier for parents to submit assignments in. I’ve mainstreamed the weeks work into one folder, instead of having to click around to different assignments. I’m hoping that this is easier for everyone. Please let me know if you have any issues submitting. We are all learning these programs together, so I appreciate your feedback.

Hello families,

We are going to take the NWEA math portion on Wednesday, September 30th.

We will start at 8:55, even though this is our ELA time. It will allow students a longer time to work on their test. Also, I will need all parents to be there first thing, again, to help the students log in.

I suspect it will go much smoother this time. Please watch for an email Wednesday morning with further instructions.

Once NWEA Reading, NWEA math, and Reading assessments are complete, I will reach out to each family individually with your child’s scores and what they mean.

Hi families,

You beat me to your supplies. I purchased books for all my students but it looks like most of you already came and got your supplies. If you’d like to swing back around to get your child’s book, I’ll be here until 1pm.

Please don’t forget that tomorrow we will start NWEA testing. Here is a checklist of what to have ready.

1. Please have your child in a comfortable spot for testing.
2. If you child has headphones, please have them near your child so they can access them quickly.
3. Please be on time. We start at 8:55. Students who enter late will not have as much time to finish.
4. Please make sure you went through the steps to take the PopUp Blocker off your computer.
5. Please make sure your child is in a room without any distractions – including you. As hard as it is to want to watch them test or help them out please do not (I get it, it’s hard for me as a teacher to watch them). Students need to show what they know and what they need support in.
6. Please make sure there is a grown up nearby for the first 10 minutes of testing to make sure everything is set up on your end.

Also – please don’t forget that there is supply pick up tomorrow. Here is the schedule:

5th – 9-10

4th 10-11

3rd 11-12

2nd 12-1

1st 1-2

KDG 2-3
