HOW CAN YOU SUPPORT YOUR STUDENT?
- Please log in to Infinite Campus to discuss grades and assignments with your student often.
- Become an observer in Canvas to see what assignments your student has been assigned.
- Attendance is also very important. Please check the academic calendar to ensure that your child is at school (as long as they are healthy enough to attend).
Links are below to assist you if needed.
