While at Blended, students will participate in projects and activities to support relationships between the teachers and students as well as peer connections. In addition, all staff including administrators, counselors, tech support, school psychologist, learning coach, learning specialist, and office staff are available to support students with any questions or needs.

Reminder about Blended Learning and Virtual Class
Please keep in mind that Blended Learning and Virtual Class attendance is required at the K-6 level. Students must attend our face to face meetings on Mondays from 9 am - 12:30 pm and attend their scheduled virtual class times on Tuesday and Thursday. This is an essential part of our programming with students and we will be following up with families whose students are not attending.
Attendance Update
Due to a change in the district's attendance messaging system, the automated attendance calls have not been sending. Please make sure you are logging into Infinite Campus to check student attendance. As a reminder, at eDCSD, we only take attendance once a week for the whole week, Wednesday - Tuesday. If a student shows an absence in a class, this means the student did not complete any work the whole previous week, equaling 5 days of class.
Parent Canvas Accounts
Please use THIS link to access the Canvas Parent Login Page.
eDCSD parents who are new to Canvas, below are directions on how to create your account. You will begin by generating a Pairing Code from your student’s account and then you will use this code to create your own account.
