Questions?

1. Use your teacher(s)’ office hours to send questions in Schoology, via email, Remind, or TalkingPoints.

2. Teens are always talking-put your collective brainpower to use. If you don’t know how to do something, maybe a friend has figured it out.

3. Send a message through the old Google Classroom. Remember, most teacher emails are created like this: first initial last name@fcusd.org: mexample@fcusd.org. Student emails do not work for anything except logging in. If you are 13 and older, ask your parents about Gmail or another free email service.

After this screen, the Schoology page should reload itself

and show you the document that your teacher has sent. If

not, try manually reloading it by pressing this:

and then “Edit”
