We are excited to have your child in our classes. Our tip of the month is for you to make sure that you have your Infinite Campus account and that you sign up as a Canvas Observer. Most of our communication will be through these two apps.
Your Infinite Campus account has all the yearly "Back to School" forms. If you need help finding forms, please click HERE. **All forms must be completed by Wednesday, August 6th in order for students to receive a Chromebook**
For video help on how to set up Infinite Campus and Canvas Observer click HERE. (make sure you scroll down the page to see the video tutorials)
