  • Recent Grades/Attendance: Use the panel to the right of My Children to access any submitted and graded materials (on larger screens only).

Assignment submissions

Files uploaded to the Schoology Document Viewer in Assignments can be accessed via this WebView, or guardians can opt to access an optimized view of the assignment, which displays the submission natively within the app.

Devices must run Android 11 2020-11-1 and above to access the optimized submission view.
