Good afternoon everyone. Thank you to everyone who I missed when calling that have been emailing me, messaging me, and/or signing up for a material pick-up time slot. If you did not receive a call or voicemail from me, I may have the incorrect contact info and please let me know. I wanted to update you on information about tomorrow. We will not be meeting live tomorrow or Tuesday due to the supply pick ups. We will having our first meeting on Wednesday at 8:55. The Zoom meeting link and passcode are posted in our Schoology Homeroom. You will have access to this tomorrow. Each students needs to log into Schoology tomorrow and explore the homeroom site. The other courses will be there but they will not show content until later in the week. There is a discussion post in our classroom rules and expectations folder. The students should read the directions on the discussion and complete the task. I have also create a resource folder for parents in the Homeroom and you can use this to watch videos and read directions for any task you need to complete in Zoom or Schoology. Feel free to post or interact with anything in the course and on the course update feed. The update feed which you will see under the Updates tab is basically where I will post things once we phase out Dojo. If you have issues logging in or questions about the Homeroom, please let me know and I will answer your questions. On Tuesday we will have a new task set up in the Homeroom for students to complete and we will be continuing with our meet and greet material pick-ups. I look forward to seeing and speaking with everyone soon. Below is information on how students will log into Schoology tomorrow:
Schoology will be available for students Monday morning. They will sign in using Google (Dearborn Account)
To sign in to a Chromebook, students use their district credentials:
– User Name = Student Number
– Password = whatever they set it as last year, we did NOT change any passwords. New students will have their passwords set to their birthday (MMDDYYYY) as per MiStar.
Students can access Schoology from the Student Portal on the district web site (Staff can use the Staff Portal).
*Students using district issued Chromebooks will have two tabs open upon start up, the district student portal page AND the Schoology page.
If you are not on a school provided Chromebook or if your tab doesn’t show up, click this link and then click Schoology. https://dearbornschools.org/student-portal/
