Students must able to access your assignments and materials through your Canvas course. Please ensure links are included. Paper copies are not allowed to be your only mode of teaching. Please spend time this week ensuring your Canvas courses are complete. If you need assistance please see Jacquie M.
We decided last year that any rating scales sent by providers from outside agencies should be routed through:
For gen ed kids: That student's assigned counselor
For kids with IEPs: That student's IEP case manager
So, if Ellen or another front office staff member receives scales for distribution, they should give them to either the student's case manager or counselor. The CM or counselor will distribute the scales and request they be returned to them.
We are still need of a paid morning duty person-8:30-8:50. Please contact Morgan.
