Hello Parents and Students,
This week was a great, fresh start and it was wonderful to have a full building again. We will begin our iReady testing next week for all of our freshmen, sophomores, and juniors. The data we collect from iReady will inform our next steps for reading intervention at the high school. We want to be able to offer informed support for your students, so encourage them to put forth effort and show us what they know. We will be retesting all students who have not reached a benchmark score in the winter. If you are interested in accessing your student's scores, please reach out.
Parents, if you have not already, you will want to become an observer in your student's classes on canvas. This will allow you to have access to your student's grades, assignments, and announcements from their teachers.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
1. Student's Role:
-
Generate a Pairing Code: The student logs into their Canvas account, navigates to "Account" > "Settings", and finds the "Pair with Observer" option. This generates a unique, case-sensitive pairing code.
-
Share the Code: The student provides this code to the parent.
2. Parent's Role:
- Access Prism Learning:
- Go to the designated Gradient Learning (Canvas) website or app.
- Create an Account:
- If the parent doesn't have an account, they'll need to create one by clicking "Need a Canvas account" and selecting "Parents sign up here".
- Enter Pairing Code:
- The parent will fill out their information (name, email, password) and enter the student's pairing code.
- Start Participating:
- Once the pairing code is accepted, the parent can log in to their account and view the student's course information.
Here is a link to a video that will wake you through the process:
