The Clarksville School District uses Schoology, a learning management system that provides course management, mobile learning, and support for system wide communication.
With Schoology, students can digitally submit homework assignments, review grades, participate in interactive discussions, receive announcements and feedback, take tests, write academic blogs, and more. As a parent, you are able to view your child’s grades, course materials, and course calendars. Parents can also sign up to receive text notifications when their child has a missing or late assignment.
