Cougar Parents,

The Parent Portal Access for Schoology has now been opened to Hungary Creek parents. This will allow you to follow all of your students’ courses throughout the school year.

In order to provide the highest level of security of your student’s personal information while also allowing you access to create and connect your Schoology account, HCPS has stored your child’s Schoology Access Code within PowerSchool.  This means that parents will first create or sign into PowerSchool, locate the Schoology tab, and use the information found there to create and connect their Schoology account.  Once a parent has completed setting up Schoology, they can sign into Schoology independently of Powerschool.  Remember – Powerschool will continue to be the gradebook of record. When checking/verifying your child’s grades always refer to PowerSchool.

Please follow these instructions: https://docs.google.com/document/d/13U_Hi3p8qjvOKlQCl1fCgbNHwgcxy3c3SrZ_Tev_b-I/edit
