Canvas 101
*Course activities are created to model what a student might see in Canvas. You do not actually have to write a history paper, but please submit something so you can experience the process. I submitted something that said "This is my paper" when I took the course!
If you are interested in being an "Early Adopter" and want to jump in early, let me know. My group is growing!
Strive Goal Reminders
Teachers, once you complete/accomplish their Professional and SLO goals in STRIVE, you need to mark them “Complete”. If you have been confused as to why your previous school year’s goals were still sitting in STRIVE when you started this school year, then you forgot this step. So please mark “Complete” once the goal is completed this school year. Once you mark the goal complete an email notification will go to your evaluator and your appraiser can then “Archive” the goal. For more detailed information on the Life of Goals in STRIVE, you can visit this link (although it specifically says Professional goals, the information is relevant to both Professional and SLO goals) https://eduphoria.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115011951447-Life-of-Professional-Goals-in-Strive

New Guest Wi-Fi
The regular Frisco-ISD network should not be affected in any way. Students and staff will still use the same WiFi that we have been using, with the same password. This change is specifically for visitors to our campus. Please encourage guests to use the guest network to help us improve network security.
