This summer we are excited to offer free continuing education

opportunities to students via our Canvas Learning Management System.

These self-paced courses were designed to help K-6 students boost skills

in Math and English Language Arts through practice and review lessons,

as well as offer support in Character Education. Students can complete

an entire 8-week course, or just the lessons in which they need more

practice. They can also work above or below grade level. Progress is

not monitored by classroom teachers, but a suggested pacing is

included each week. Click here for a short video about these courses.


To gain access to these resources and enroll your student in these online

learning opportunities, please visit the websites below for the

appropriate class.
