Note to PreK & Kindergarten, regarding Canvas: Check with your team to determine whether you (PreK & Kinder) should participate in the Canvas Overview training. While Canvas is not required in PreK & Kinder, Canvas can be an effective, efficient tool when used appropriately in the early childhood grades. If your grade-level team chooses to incorporate this learning tool, you'll want to register for training, so you can join them in Canvas collaborative work.
