We have posted a document in Global Announcements regarding how to get IT help if you need it. Please make sure you read it and keep it handy. There is a number to call for troubleshooting and sites where you can take your DPS devices for service after making an appointment.

We’d like to give you some reminders about Wellness Wednesday. It is still an instructional day, with asynchronous and social emotional learning, for all students.  The protocol for SCS is that students must log into Canvas and check in at each of their classes by 2:00 p.m. and complete any assignments that teachers choose to leave for them.

You should check Global Announcements daily. They pop up on your home screen when you log in to Canvas.
