    What is Schoology?
     

    •Schoology is an internal, educational Learning Management System and social networking platform that offers us a space for online learning, communication, collaboration, and increased student access to curriculum and supplemental content.

     

    • The Mercer Island Schoology site is not visible to the public. All students will have an account at the start of school after they are taught our online rules and expectations, and how to properly use Schoology for school.

     

    Student Login Information: (The account is linked with the student's MISD google account)
