• Gordon County Schools will recover instructional time lost due to school closures by utilizing online learning through Schoology, the district's online learning management system.   In the event of inclement weather, students will be asked to complete assignments at home. The assignments can be found inside the black folder labeled “Online Learning Plans” within each Schoology course.  We realize that during a weather emergency that there could be sporadic power outages, internet unavailability, etc. Upon return to school, students will be given five days to complete any work assigned that may have not been completed.  Under extenuating circumstances, such as consecutive absences due to weather-related issues, students may be given additional days to complete assignments.  

  • PROCEDURES FOR COMPLETING ONLINE LEARNING ASSIGMENTS

    1.  Access Schoology by choosing one of the following options:

            Go to gcbe.schoology.com or the Schoology app.  Note:  It may be necessary to choose the child's school.

    2.  Login using your child’s login credentials from the information provided to your child at school.  *Most login creditionals follow the same format:

    User Name: Child's First Name, Middle Initial, and Last Name

    Password: GCS followed by the Child's Lunch Number

    Example  

    UserName: JohnCSmith

    Password: GCS12345

    *This is the same login information students use to login to school computers or wifi on their school iPads.  If a child's name has more than twenty characters, they should only use the first 20. 

    3.   Locate the Black folder labeled Online Learning Plans for each course.
