A Message from the Principals
Dear Millbridge Families,
We would like to thank everyone for their cooperation and understanding as we navigate the new normal for this school year. We encountered a few technical issues with our new learning management system (Canvas) this week and have worked to ensure that the problems have been resolved.
We wanted to send a special newsletter with some important information about Canvas, carpool. and dismissal. We will still send the regular bi-weekly Cub Corner on Friday, September 18, 2020.
Your partners in education,
Mrs. Lowe and Mrs. Murphy

Becoming an Observer in Canvas
To enable co-enrollment (observer) in Canvas K-12 your student will need to generate a pairing code and you will need to link the account. A parent may pair (link) to multiple children in the same parent (observer) account.
You will need to set-up the pairing through a web browser like Chrome.
You cannot enable pairing or observing through the parent app.
Co-enrollment means you can view grades, upcoming assignments and due dates, missing work, and teacher communication.
Teachers can send individual, group, and course-wide messages to students and parents. Once you're co-enrolled, you'll want to set-up your notification preferences. Click here for instructions on setting up your notification preferences.
Parent Access to Canvas
Understanding Assignments at Millbridge
We did this to ensure our students have access to Immersive Reader. Immersive reader is a tool that will read the text to your child and sometimes will even provide students with pictures to help them better understand what they need to do. Our hope is that as your child becomes more familiar with Canvas they will be able to complete more of their school work independently. Unfortunately, the immersive feature is not available on assignment pages.
If you are submitting a picture, please save the picture (photo) of work taken and then upload the work into Canvas as an attachment.
Tech Tip- 403 Error
1) Double-check the username- you must enter @delranschools.org along with the user name (this can be found in the parent portal).
2) Go to google.com and make sure you are not logged with your own account. You need to be logged in as the student.
3) If you are on your own personal device and using Google Chrome, click on your picture in the upper right-hand corner. Select Manage Account and add your child's Delran information. Once you do this, when you go to log onto Canvas, you will choose which Google account to use.
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT- Carpool Information
Due to the large number of parents choosing to drop off their students, we need your help to keep traffic flowing smoothly. On Thursday, we had a major traffic jam. We have revised our procedures and greatly appreciate your help in ensuring that all students can get to school safely and quickly.
If you are driving your child to school, please turn onto Conrow Road from Hartford Road.
Students will not be permitted to exit in the main parking lot. If you enter the parking lot to drop off your child during arrival, you will be directed back onto Conrow Road away from the carpool lane.
Please remain in your car and have your child seated on the driver’s side of the car. Our staff will help your child exit the car and move safely onto the sidewalk.
When you exit the Millbridge parking lot, please turn left and proceed toward Haines Mill Road.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Dismissal
Unless a student is designated as a walker or attending the YMCA Primetime program, we will place all students on their assigned bus at the end of the day. Students must be met at the bus stop by a parent or guardian or they will be brought back to Millbridge.
If you need to change your child's dismissal plans after your child has arrived at school, you MUST call the main office at (856) 461-2900 or email us at mboffice@delranschools.org. Teachers may not see messages through ClassDojo, Canvas, or email until after dismissal has been completed.
