CANVAS

Each student in grades 6 - 12 has an ACP (Future Ready) Course through Canvas. All ACP activities are accessed by students through Canvas. In addition, students submit their plans and reflections through their ACP Future Ready Canvas Course. During spring ACP Conferences, students will refer to these activities and artifacts as they discuss their career identity journey.

Parents are encouraged to be observers in their child's ACP Future Ready Canvas Course throughout the year in order to gain a better understanding of how their children are focused on being future-ready.

Communication and updates on ACP activities can be found through the following avenues:

• Canvas

• Xello

• Building Newsletters

• ACP Website

• Parent Emails and Letters sent out at various times throughout the year

• Student Email Updates
