Schoology groups may be utilized for extra-curricular activities such as our Spiritual Life or Newsletter clubs.
Schoology Discussion Rules
Please note the rules that should be followed when contributing to a group discussion:
- In any Schoology club or group you should be aware of having strong netiquette skills.
- If you wouldn’t say it in real life, don’t type it online.
- Remember that your comments are marked in print forever. If you don’t want a parent or teacher to read the comment later, don’t type it.
- No exchanging of personal information: emails, addresses, minecraft server info (or similar)
- No theological or political discussions. Please leave those for Theology or History classes.
- No discussions of movies, musics, or video games with a rating of PG-13 or above (T+ for video games).
- Be respectful towards the moderator and other students
- Use appropriate language
- THINK before you type: Is it True, is it Helpful, is it Inspiring, is it NECESSARY, and is it Kind?
- Students on Academic Probation will be removed.
- Students who do not respect these rules will have their discussion privileges revoked.

Groups look similar to courses, but may contain different content, depending on how the teacher or administrator has it set up. You’ll see areas like the Updates page:
