Schoology Update At the end of July, the TEA announced that they would fund Schoology for any district in Texas for two years! Learn more here. While this is ultimately exciting news, it has caused a slight delay in implementation for the 8 PL schools who opted in back in May. In order to take advantage of this opportunity we had to restart the requisition, which means it will be another week or two before you and your staff have access to the enterprise version of Schoology. Please do not let this slow down any planning for the fall, as everything you do in the free version can be transferred directly to your enterprise account. If you did not originally sign up for Schoology access and now want to take advantage, you have one last chance to sign up for access. Sign your up campus by adding your information to the spreadsheet here by Friday, August 21st. Note: PL campuses (and select OTI schools) are the only teams that will be able to take advantage of this opportunity for the 2020-2021 school year. We'll be serving as the District's pilot for potential future Schoology use. *NEW COACHING TOOLS ALERT*
