In the Know...

Canva for Education

Frisco ISD has been working with Canva to set up our schools in their system tied to our logins. They say it should be working "soon". So as to not confuse you when that comes online, you can still join Canva for Education using this link but DON'T connect to the CHS school that already exists.

Once our Frisco ISD Canva login is ready, I'll send it out to everyone!

Grade Grabber

Grade Grabber is coming! Grade Grabber grabs grades from the Canvas gradebook and pastes them into eSchool, matching student IDs so the right grade is entered for the right student! I'll let you know when I have more information!

Classroom Relay Updates

The option to show all screens from the Heat Map view has been turned off. This was done to hopefully resolve the issue where some students do not show online in Lightspeed Classroom.

A new User Interface is coming soon:
