Canvas Helpful Resources
Helpful resources:
- PUSD Canvas Course Checklist
- PUSD Template for elementary and Junior High/High School in Canvas Commons
- Weekly modules template available in Canvas Commons (thanks Becky York!)
- Junior High/High School teachers- wanting to combine multiple sections into one- use the Crosslisting Feature
- Push out to parents how to link up to their student with the Canvas Parent App by becoming an "Observer" (for new students not already linked)
Friday Collaboration
Please keep in mind that these are contracted work hours for all staff. In order to have the most meaningful collaboration, your presence is needed. If you will be missing Friday collaboration time, staff will need to use the appropriate leave (medical, sick, personal necessity, personal business, etc...). The two exceptions:
- PUSD Board approved coaches for that season when attending a scheduled competition
- Independent planning time, with the approval of your Principal
