Student Sign-In Instructions

Using the "Sign in with Schoology" Option for Writable Assignments

Students can use the "Sign in with Schoology" option to quickly log in to Writable and complete assignments. Here’s how:

Visit app.writable.com and click the 'Sign in with Schoology' option.
Choose your state and your school from the list.
- Note: If your school or district is missing from the list, this means your district may not be set up to 'Sign in with Schoology'. Reach out to your teacher for more direction.
Sign in with your Schoology credentials.
- Note: You may be asked to log into an additional screen that looks like your district Schoology or portal login.
Click 'Approve'. This allows Writable to connect your Schoology and Writable accounts.
That's it!

Addressing Sign-In Challenges

If you encounter any challenges with Schoology performance, the first step is to check the Schoology dashboard at status.schoology.com. This dashboard provides real-time information about the platform's status, including any known interruptions or connectivity issues. Often, Schoology provides recommendations for improving access or connectivity on this page.
