Conferences
Friday, October 22nd from 8:00 - noon
Elton Gregory will be hosting Parent/Teacher conferences on the evening of Thursday, October 21st, and the morning of Friday, October 22nd. Our teachers would very much like to talk about the progress of your student, as well as discuss any of your concerns and a plan for moving forward successfully.
We will be using appointments for conference scheduling. Parents/guardians must now choose a specific appointment time through our Synergy management system. Conference sign up will open on October 6th.
Due to COVID, conferences will be conducted through a phone call or a virtual meeting-- the choice is yours. The link to the virtual meeting or the dial-in phone number will be displayed on the Conferences tab in your ParentVue account.
Looking forward to our conference time together.
Sincerely,
Justin Nicklous

CANVAS
Here are a few links that will help you track your student’s learning, assignments, and feedback they are receiving from each of your student’s teachers. All this information can be accessed in our online student learning platform, CANVAS. Your student is one month into trimester 1 and there are assignments, grades, feedback, and lessons available waiting for you to access.
The links below can help you get access to CANVAS. These links also have videos and links to directions in Spanish
1. Student Device Readiness Steps
2. CANVAS Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
3. Setting up a Parent Canvas Account
We hope this information is helpful. We invite you to log in to CANVAS often to check on your student’s progress and then discuss with your student what they are learning.
If you have questions please let us know. Thank you,
