Canvas vs. Infinite Campus
If you log on to Canvas as a parent you will be able to see the classes your child is taking and their assignments but the parent feature does not show student scores on individual assignments like a student’s account does (Canvas assures us this is a coming attraction).
Overall I-Campus is best for checking grades and attendance, and Canvas is best for helping your child with specific assignments.

Social/Emotional Questionnaire
During the week of October 9-13, during our PACK days (a specific day in each class set aside before term-end to help students make sure all work for that class is complete), our school is participating in a survey to understand the well-being and school experience of students. The survey asks questions like those listed below. Students will participate in this survey in one of their classes once their other work is complete.
How excited are you about going to you classes?
How useful do you think school will be to you in the future?
How much respect do students in your school show you?
If you would like to view all the questions of the survey, please see this link.
Thank you in advance for your ongoing support. If you have questions, please reach out to us. If you choose to opt your student out of the survey, please either call the office or reach out to our Dean of Students, Ms. Lundell (brittany.lundell@nebo.edu). We plan to conduct this survey again in the Spring and will let you know as it approaches.

You could choose between many different art options such as; drawing, painting, sculpting, constructing, photography, etc. please make sure it follows the guidelines.
The guidelines are listed below:
Think of the theme, “Land of the Free; Because of the Brave” and create a work of art that represents the theme.
Make sure it is respectful (no graphic violent scenes)
Make sure it honors our veterans
The art piece needs to be at least 8x10. We want people to be able to see it and the detail you have worked so hard to create. It can be larger but 8x10 is the minimum size.
The top 3 art projects will get prizes and recognized in the virtual assembly!!!
