Parent Communication through CANVAS
ALL parents should be linked to CANVAS as all communications from teachers will flow through CANVAS - newsletters, events, field trip info, updates, etc. Please set up your notifications so you receive CANVAS notifications from your teachers. Teachers will not be maintaining 2 vehicles for outgoing communication so will not be emailing you separately through email to keep you informed. Thanks for your help in keeping school and home connected!
NEW families, we will offer training to help you set up your parent accounts once your students have access. Stay tuned!
