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.
Please read Principal Hills' newsletter. It has tons of important information to get Mustang families ready for Monday, August 24 - https://www.smore.com/62579.
