Welcome to Arabic 1 Course
My name is Mrs. Ikram Easton and I'm your teacher for this course.
I always love the start of a new school semester so we can all have a fresh start. I look forward to communicating with each of you in the coming days. My contact information is listed below in this flyer.
Whether your child has taken online courses before or this is his/her first time in virtual learning, I hope that you will have an awesome and enriching experience with Arabic 1 this semester. The road to success in the online classroom can have some twists and turns, and so we have compiled a new and improved student-parent handbook to help you navigate along the way. The NCVPS student-parent handbook can be found here: https://ncvps.org/student-parent-handbook.
Please bookmark this page and keep it handy for reference on topics such as navigating Canvas, finding your grades, communicating with your teacher, using the Peer Tutoring Center, creating Virtual Support Center tickets, and much much more! We hope that these tips and videos help you to make a smooth transition to online learning.

Canvas App for Parents
Parents and facilitators can now download the CanvasParent app in both the iTunes and Google Play stores.
Parents and facilitators will need student login information to set up their parent accounts. This will have to come from the school. NCVPS cannot supply login credentials to parents or facilitators. Check with your school's e-learning advisor (ELA).
The Canvas Parent app is designed to provide visibility into a student's progress at a glance. Canvas Parent allows both parents and facilitators to:
