Chromebooks
Quick Clarification on taking Chromebooks home. If students have devices to use at home, they DO NOT need to take their Chromebooks home daily. Only those students who don't have a device at home, should be taking them back and forth each day.

Happy Visits
Remote Connectivity
We look forward to welcoming your student to school, albeit remotely, on August 26th. As we prepare to work with your student(s) through our remote learning platforms we wanted to share some important information:
Your student should plan to login to Seesaw (PK-5) or Canvas (Secondary, grades 6-12) on the morning of August 26th. If your student does not know how to login to their learning platform (Seesaw or Canvas) we would encourage you to visit https://www.dentonisd.org/Page/102071 prior to the first day of school.
Your student will be able to access videos and lessons uploaded by their teachers to begin their learning for this school year.
Your student should plan to engage in the learning platform each day to review the lessons, videos and submit their assignments.
It is possible during the first eight days of remote learning that your student will be invited into a synchronous video call with their teacher; although it is not expected that your students will synchronously connect via video call throughout each day of the remote learning period, August 26 - September 11.
In the event that your student is unable to login to Seesaw or Canvas, they may reach out to their teacher via email for their assignments.
Teachers will keep the Seesaw platforms up to date with announcements and assignments. This is the best way to stay updated with your teacher.
A Parent Education Support Hotline is available to Denton ISD parents beginning Wednesday August 26 through September 4. The times will be 9 am until 7 pm. Parents may receive assistance on a variety of issues such as Canvas or Seesaw, log-in issues, attendance, transportation, meal service, safety protocol, etc. Keep this number handy for your use: 940-369-0545.

Esperamos darle la bienvenida a su estudiante a la escuela, aunque sea de forma remota, el 26 de agosto. Mientras nos preparamos para trabajar con su (s) estudiante (s) a través de nuestras plataformas de aprendizaje remoto, queríamos compartir información importante:
Su estudiante debe planear iniciar sesión en Seesaw (PK-5) o Canvas (Secundaria, Preparatoria, grados 6-12) en la mañana del 26 de agosto. Si su estudiante no sabe cómo iniciar sesión en su plataforma de aprendizaje (Seesaw o Canvas), le recomendamos que visite https://www.dentonisd.org/Page/102071 antes del primer día de clases.
Su estudiante podrá acceder a videos y lecciones cargados por sus maestros para comenzar su aprendizaje para este año escolar.
Su estudiante debe planear participar en la plataforma de aprendizaje todos los días para revisar las lecciones, los videos y enviar sus tareas.
Es posible que durante los primeros ocho días de aprendizaje remoto se invite a su estudiante a una video llamada sincrónica con su maestro; aunque no se espera que sus estudiantes se conecten sincrónicamente mediante video llamadas durante todos los días del período de aprendizaje remoto, del 26 de agosto al 4 de septiembre.
En el caso de que su estudiante no pueda iniciar sesión en Seesaw o Canvas, pueden comunicarse con su maestro por correo electrónico para sus tareas.
Los maestros mantendrán las plataformas Canvas / Seesaw actualizadas con anuncios y asignaciones. Esta es la mejor manera de mantenerse actualizado con su maestro.
