MEETING LINK

If you are having a tech issue, please fill out the Tech Issue Form. This will help issues be addressed as quickly as possible and help us keep up with our record keeping since there are only two of us handling these issues. Emails are harder to keep up with and do not leave a paper trail that everyone can access.

If you are having a Teams issue is please fill out the Teams Issue form. These issues are harder for us to troubleshoot in-house, but we are sending these request to the district for support.

Both of these forms are linked on the Tech Help page, which all students and parents have access to through links on all canvas pages and the CMVS website.

Please utilize these forms rather than emailing teachers and staff.
