What is the Parent Portal?
At LAUSD, parents/guardians are our partners in the education and success of our students. It will connect parents/guardians to information about their child(ren)’s academic progress, including grades, attendance, A-G progress, standardized test results, and much more. It also allows parents to apply for select District programs online, directly update emergency card information and access Schoology.
What is Schoology?
Schoology is a cloud and mobile platform that allows teachers to manage students grades, develop and deliver curricla among many other things. This is where you will have access to your student's COURSES, ASSIGNMENTS, AND GRADES. It is where your child will receive updates, messages, and connect with their teacher via zoom meeting links.
How is the Parent Portal connected to Schoology? From the Parent Portal you can ACCESS Schoology. Schoology can also be accessed via LMS.LAUSD.NET using your Parent Portal Log-in credentials.
