Week 1 (August 29-September 2)

This week we were working on the Getting Started Unit where students work on assignments and learn how to navigate through CANVAS. Please encourage your student to get started in the class as soon as possible. Students are expected to work in the class, Monday-Friday, for approximately 90 minutes to 2 hours.
Next week we will be working on Unit 1, a review of Spanish 1 and 2. Here is the list of assignments for this week and next week.
Parent Observer Access in Canvas
NCVPS is excited to announce that parents and guardians can now view their students' progress in our Canvas course!. Observers have limited permissions that allow them to view what is happening in a course without interrupting the flow of daily course communication. You can also download the Canvas Parent App in the iTunes and Android app stores.
Important Note: Parents will need their students' login information to create their observer access. NCVPS will not be able to supply this information. Parents will need to get these details either from the local school or from their students. For more details, view our Observer Access web page here.
Completing assignments and working ahead in the class!
What is an RLC (Required Live Class)?
Throughout the course, students will be responsible for attending one live class per unit (for a total of 10 live classes). Students will be given several options of sessions for each unit with a variety of teachers, so that he/she can choose which ones best fit his/her schedule. When students click on the assignment for the RLCs, they will find the calendar for all the RLCs. In addition, I include the calendar each day in my announcements.
Students need to make sure that he/she puts first and last name when entering the session. Attendance is taken for the session and there is an assignment to complete after attending the session. Each session lasts about an hour.
Students will attend a total of 10 sessions during the semester.

I strongly encourage students to attend the Required Live Classes (RLC), but if a student is unable to attend one of the Required Live Classes, please have the student contact me in order to develop a plan to make up the Required Live Class assignment.
Below is a schedule for this week's calendar for the RLC's for Getting Started and also for next week, Unit 1.
