Welcome to Online Learning - the Husky Way!
Thank you for being patient as we get things ready to go for Online Learning. Starting Monday, March 23, this is what school will be for our 5th and 6th graders. This will be our new "normal" for at least through April 3, so here is what you need to know to be ready for Monday:
- Our students will be held accountable for the work they are given for each subject. Grades will be taken so please make sure you are looking at what the teachers are assigning and that you are checking grades in Skyward.
- Your child MUST be able to get into Class Link in order to access Canvas which is where all of the lesson will be for them to complete.
- Before Monday, please make sure your child can log into his/her ClassLink. Their username is First Initial, Last Initial, Lunch #; password is 2020Huskies.
- If they are having trouble logging in, you can call the MISD Help Desk, at 682-422-9505, M-F, from 8:00-4:00, so that they can reset the password. Link to fill out Help Desk Ticket https://mansfieldisd.instructure.com/courses/46016/pages/help
- Students will be able to go to the District Canvas Page and click on each subject. From there, the lessons will be posted with instructions on what is expected. If your child's teacher(s) have been using Google Classroom, that will be linked into Canvas, so no worries there!
- Please make sure that students are receiving correspondence and weekly lesson plans and are communicating with the teachers for questions, etc. The teachers will be communicating with their students, so it is imperative that you be checking your email from the teachers as well.
Please contact your child’s teachers if you have questions. We don't have answers for many things, but we will navigate through this TOGETHER!

What Devices can your child use?
We are aware that several children in your household may be sharing devices, along with you might be working from home as well, so we will be mindful of that when we send out assignments and make our deadlines, etc.
If you are having issues with a device, etc. please let your child's teachers know, and we will try to work something out with you (we are still waiting on some direction from the district on providing hard copies of student work, etc.).
