District School Delays and Closures
Snow days
PSD cancelled? PIXeL cancelled.
2 hours/3-hour delays
PIXeL will also be on a delay schedule. We will share this schedule on our website as well as teacher canvas pages and Class Dojo.
Is your child feeling sick or do they have an appointment during the school day?
Make sure to call the PIXeL clerk Lexi Navarrete to excuse your child's absence. When students are gone, they are missing instruction and will need to make up the missed work. Please contact your students teacher for make up assignments.
It is important to try to schedule appointments outside of the school day. Missing class makes it harder for your child to be successful in school.

CANVAS- Parent
How do I sign up for a Canvas account as a parent?
Parents can sign up as an observer in Canvas. Observers can link their Canvas account to their student's account so they can see assignment due dates, announcements, and other course content. Observers can view the course content but cannot participate in the course.
Here is a quick video that goes through the process.

Plan for the Unexpected
Teacher Absences
We do our best to request a substitute teacher for teachers that are absent. However, if there is no substitute teacher available, we will post on Class Dojo by 7:50. Every teacher will have a Canvas asynchronous folder outlining what work students need to complete on their own in their teachers absence.
School Pictures
If you ordered school pictures they are in your students folder at the PDLA office. Our office is open between 8:00-4:00 for pick up.
Science Materials
With the new Quarter or Trimester in full swing make sure you have picked up your this s periods science materials. each science kit has yoru student name and is ready for studnets to pick up.
Library Resource
