We are now starting week 3. Students should have already finished the Getting Started Unit and Unit 1 (a review of Spanish 2). I have contacted parents this past week to let you know how students are doing in our course.

What is the Culture Cafe?
Below is a list of the various Culture Cafe sessions offered for students in the next two weeks. Students can go to their Home page on Canvas and click on the icon, The Culture Cafe for a detailed list of future Culture Cafe sessions and how to log into the session. After attending a Culture Cafe session, students will complete a reflection about the class and submit it for extra credit.
Students can attend any of the topics below. It does not have to be about Spanish.
HOW CAN YOU HELP (AS A PARENT/ELA)?
1. Ask your students how they are doing, what they are doing (which assignment/s) and what they are learning. Ask them to answer specific questions around what they are learning.
2. Have your students show you their grades (they are available 24/7), get/use the parent/observer access (sent out in each newsletter) OR have them give you their log-in info., so you can check in on them anytime. You just click on "Grades" in the left-hand sidebar.
3. Does your student have a smartphone? If so, make sure that (s)he has downloaded the Canvas Student App!
As you probably know, students are not always forthcoming/proactive, so ask them
Parents and facilitators will need student login information to set up their parent accounts. This will have to come from the school. NCVPS cannot supply login credentials to parents or facilitators. Check with your school's e-learning advisor (ELA).
The Canvas Parent app is designed to provide visibility into a student's progress at a glance. Canvas Parent allows both parents and facilitators to:
- View assignment descriptions and due dates
- Set reminders for assignments
- View assignment grades
- View course grades
- Set grade alerts
- View course announcements
