I recently switched from Windows 10 to Ubuntu for performance reasons, and I am setting up my email and calendar. I use google calendar and Gmail.
On the "Online Accounts" section, I set up both my personal account, as well as my school account. My school tracks everything I do if I am using a school account, or connected to my school board wifi or school board server. If I add the school account, will they be able to track what is on my PC? My connection to the internet is almost always my personal account (unless I am doing Online School) but will adding my school account to my "Online Accounts" section and using it as part of my email and calendar, allow the board to have access to any other part of my computer?

No it won't allow them to see any files on your computer, nor any activity that occurs through the non-school accounts.
Of course, if you mistakenly use the wrong account and put your nefarious and secretive activities into your school e-mail or school account, then they will certainly know. But that is YOU spilling the beans; not Ubuntu.
