On the Hour PD is Back!

I will be offering my first On the Hour PD session on October 2nd. This session will start at 8:00 and last around 20-25 minutes. Then it will repeat on the hour until 3:00. For this first one, we will be looking at Canva AI, specifically the Code for Me feature! I hope to see you there.

Canvas Observers

Don't forget students can invite Observers. To partner with a parent or guardian, students generate a pairing code and provide it to their adult. This folder has all the information for parents, students, and you. The folder itself is set to LEISD access only, but the items within can be shared with anyone with the link.

Grade Passback Updates

If you are running into issues with Grade Sync/Grade Passback please check out these resources. Updated August 2025 with new information! Also please note, it is taking longer than in the past for grades to sync. Be patient! They will go through.
