We encourage parents to check their studentβs progress regularly in PowerSchool to stay on top of grades, pacing, and upcoming assignments. Staying informed now can prevent surprises later!

Proctored Activity Requirements
All students must complete two proctored activities for each class each term. These activities are an essential part of the course, designed to assess understanding and ensure academic integrity. The names of the required proctored activities can be found in the student's Schoology classroom.
Proctoring Schedule and Details
The schedule for proctored activities, along with the location and sign-up process, is available in the A2 Virtual Proctoring and Building Support Schoology classrooms.
Additionally, students are welcome to attend Skyline High School's Media Center during Tuesday Nights from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm to complete their proctored activities. No sign-up is required for these sessions. Any student who arrives before 6:00 pm will be permitted to complete their proctored activity.
Students should arrive prepared with their charged school Chromebook or personal device to complete their assessment. While some outlets are available, we recommend ensuring devices are fully charged prior to arrival.
