Oak Ridge National Laboratory Field Trip
Students in Ms. Darnell's English 11 class and Mr. Lewis' US History class will be taking a field trip on Monday, November 19th to the Oak Ridge National Laboratory to kick off the PBL unit for Project Manhattan. Students who have turned in their permission slips and paid their dues need to be at school no later than 7:45am Monday so they do not miss the bus for the trip.

Pairing Codes for Canvas Parent Accounts
*If you already have an account from the Canvas Parent App, log in to Canvas using those credentials.
To observe a student, you must obtain a pairing code from your student. Students can generate a pairing code by signing into Canvas then Click Account>Settings>Pair with Observer.
To set up your parent account:
- Go to https://kingsport.instructure.com/login/canvas
Enter the following information:
-Enter your name in the Your Name field.
-Enter your email in the Your Email field.
-Enter your password in the Password field.
-Re-enter your password in the Re-enter Password field.
-Enter a pairing code to link your account to your student in the Student Pairing Code field.
-Agree to the terms of use by clicking the You agree to the terms of use checkbox.
-Click the Start Participating button.To observe a student, you must have a student pairing code. Students can access the pairing code through their settings
- Agree to the terms of use by clicking the You agree to the terms of use checkbox.
- Click the Start Participating button.
For now, each pairing code will live for 24 hours. That means once the pairing code is generated, it will remain valid for 24 hours, then it expires.
Each pairing code can only be used once. Once it’s used in account registration, the pairing code expires and the observer remains successfully paired. If you want to pair two observers to one student, each observer needs a unique pairing code.
