Blackboard is an online interface accessible by the District 99 school community, either as a registered user or as a guest.

With Blackboard, teachers can create an online presence to support their classroom instruction and can post to the World Wide Web information about their classes and classroom materials.  

Teachers can also add 21st Century tools such as chat areas and discussion boards to provide students with new strategies for communication.

PLEASE NOTE:  Blackboard use is optional in District 99.

PLEASE NOTE:  Blackboard does not provide access to online grades.  That is a separate system.  Access the Pinnacle Online Grades system here.

How do students use Blackboard?

Students login to the Blackboard system from any Web-connected computer and the Blackboard assembles each students coursework in one interface.  With a single login, students are able to access the Blackboard site and see all of their classes and get the information they need, when they need it.

Why are some classes unavailable?

This is an optional tool for creating class Web pages, and its use is at each teacher's discretion.

Can parents see courses?

Absolutely.  Parents can access courses through guest access from the main Blackboard Portal Page, in the Parents and Guest module.

What if we are having technical problems accessing Blackboard at home?

Limited tech support is available through email.  Individuals experiencing a technical issue with Blackboard at home can submit a help request.  The request will be addressed as soon as possible.
