SchoologyNew students MUST first log onto a school computer, then a report will automatically be generated to add them to Schoology. This is usually instant, but CAN take up to three hours. First time log-in follows the pattern: username = first initial, middle initial (if they have one), whole last name, last two digits of their graduation year. For example Jane Elizabeth Doe who graduates in 2021 would be jedoe21. Passwords are their student ID numbers. Please only send students to the media center for help only if you have already tried this and it did not work.

All teachers automatically have an ecard with TPL. Your number is 212730+your employee number. This number will give you access to databases as well as the ebook and audiobook collection available through OverDrive. You can also apply for a "teacher" card with TPL which will allow you a much more liberal lending policy than that which is afforded to regular patrons. Holly Osentoski ([email protected]) is the Young Adult Librarian at TPL and a fantastic resource. She will even deliver books to THS for you!
Questions???If you have questions, but do not know who to ask, know that the media center staff will do their best to help you find answers, or at least the right person to contact.
