FCCPS IT reports service has been restored to the Big Blue Button - the Schoology Conferencing system.
We are experiencing connection issues so students and teachers can access Schoology but the Big Blue Button feature (Conferencing) is not working so teachers are not able to do the conferences with students.
We are working to resolve all issues.
Virtual school begins tomorrow, Aug. 24 at 8 am. Students should log in to their Block 1 class in Schoology Conferences. Student schedules are in PowerSchool.
A reminder to new Mason students and parents/guardians that laptop pick up is on Thursday, 8/20 from 9am-Noon; Virtual Orientation is from 1pm-3pm via Schoology; and a "Meet the Admin Team" will be from 7pm-8pm via Zoom. Missed Principal Hills' recent newsletter?
