Schoology Outages
As you may be aware, Schoology, one of Jeffco’s key remote learning platforms, has experienced technical issues for the past few days. Due to the increased remote learning activities taking place across the country, Schoology reports their usage has increased to 400% more than their previous 10-year peak. They are working on solutions to quickly scale their platform’s availability and mitigate performance issues in the future.
The Jeffco IT team will relay updates about Schoology’s status directly to staff. The Ed Tech team is working directly with teachers who rely on Schoology for the delivery of instructional materials to find alternatives during this outage. If you are experiencing issues with Schoology, you can view the
Schoology status dashboard , or check in with your student’s teacher to determine if a work-around is needed.
Thank you for your ongoing flexibility and understanding as we all work together to overcome the hiccups we encounter on this remote learning journey.
