Technology at SHS
There are four key areas regarding technology at Sandpoint High School: Chromebooks, Schoology, Google Apps, and PowerSchool SIS. Notice there is further information on these four technology areas below including how-to's and videos for parents. Students, if you scroll to the bottom, there is a list of student-how-to videos surrounding technology use at SHS.
Chromebook Personal Learning Device (PLD) Initiative
Chromebook PLD initiative supplies a district-owned Chromebook to each student at SHS for their use at school as well as outside of school hours.
Schoology Learning Management System LMS
Schoology LMS is essentially an online classroom space. Students use their district issued google account (last.first@lposd.org) as their username along with their district issued password. Parents can sign up for a parent account via www.schoology.com and enter a special "student code" to link to their student's data. Students/parents can access:
Classroom materials
View grades
See/use calendar
Submit electronic work
Communicate with teachers
Parents can create a log-in by going to https://app.schoology.com/register.php, and choose "parent." You will need the access code from the school, also found in the PowerSchool Parent Portal (see below), so that your student's info is linked and view-able on your account. Parents can access course materials, due dates/calendar, grades, and more.
