Canvas Passwords
Please remind your students that Canvas passwords should NOT be reset. Many teachers are adding a reminder on their homepage so that parents know this as well.
If a password reset is needed, email Anna and myself to increase your chances of getting it done quickly.

Earbuds
This is the only set of earbuds students will receive. Please remind them to treat the earbuds with care.
As I'm working with students on the earbuds, I have a few suggestions:
--transfer the earbuds to a bigger ziploc bag
--keep the earbuds in a basket in your classroom rather than in a students desk, locker, or bookbag to decrease damage
--collect the extra spongy pieces and either keep in one ziploc in your classroom or give them to me for safekeeping

If you have students who did NOT get headphones, please let me know. When more come in, Anna and I will distribute them.
