Schoology

LCPS has partnered with Schoology to bring you an improved digital learning experience. 

Why Schoology?

Schoology is a virtual learning environment for K-12 Schools and higher education institutions that allows users to create, manage and share academic content. Schoology can help teachers contact students with homework and more by allowing teachers to post daily reminders or updates, message students, manage the assignment calendar and put new assignments anytime. By having the entire county on the same system teacher, parents and students everywhere can be on the same page.
