Schoology for Families

Novi Community Schools uses Schoology as a Learning Management System (LMS) for grades 5-12 and Novi Virtual. Each teacher has a Schoology page to which your child has been added. To access your child’s Schoology classes, please follow the directions below. You will need a Parent Access Code, which has been specifically assigned for your child. Your child’s teacher will give you the 12-digit code and that one code will give you access to all their classes. If your child is a new student, it takes approximately 24-48 hours to get your information into the system.

Connect to Schoology to receive important updates from your child and teacher in their Schoology courses.

• Your child may complete coursework within Schoology.
