El viernes, sus alumnos regresaron a casa con información sobre Canvas.
¿Qué es Canvas?
El Distrito Escolar de Sioux Falls está comprometido con el éxito de cada estudiante. Es importante asegurarse de que los estudiantes, el personal y los padres estén en sintonía. Canvas es un sistema único de gestión del aprendizaje para familias de jardín de infantes a 12 grado y un punto de partida central para la enseñanza y el aprendizaje. Canvas mantiene a los maestros, estudiantes y familias conectados mientras brinda acceso equitativo a contenido interactivo y atractivo desde cualquier lugar y en cualquier momento. Canvas reemplaza herramientas utilizadas anteriormente como SeeSaw, Schoology y Google Classroom, lo que hace que la participación de los padres sea más ágil y accesible para todos. Tómese el tiempo para crear una cuenta en Canvas y vincularla con su(s) estudiante(s) usando el código de emparejamiento proporcionado por el maestro de su hijo en la comunicación del viernes.
Si tiene alguna pregunta, comuníquese con el maestro de su estudiante.
On Friday, your students came home with information concerning Canvas.
What is Canvas?
The Sioux Falls School District is committed to each student's success. Making sure students, staff, and parents are on the same page is important. Canvas is a single learning management system for K through 12th grade families and a central starting point for teaching and learning. Canvas keeps teachers, students, and families connected while providing equitable access to interactive, engaging content from anywhere at anytime.
Canvas takes the place of previously used tools like SeeSaw, Schoology, and Google Classroom - making parent engagement more streamlined and accessible for all.
Please take time to create an account in Canvas and link to your student(s) using the pairing code provided by your child's teacher in Friday's communication.
If you have any questions, please reach out to your student's teacher.

Thank you for remembering our drop off lane rules and etiquette so we can get everyone in and back out safely.
*Right hand turns only so we can keep traffic moving quickly
*No parking in the circle drive, if you need to exit your vehicle please park down the street and walk with your student(s)
*Use sidewalks and crosswalks, do not cut between cars and put yourself at risk of injury
*Do not pass vehicles in the parking lot or circle drive
*Have grace and patience with each other, we are all working toward the same goal of getting students in the building safely
Good morning Hayward Families!
The sun peeking up over the school this morning was too beautiful not to capture. We are already in our 3rd official week back at school and our students are doing amazing jobs learning new routines and expectations.
The morning drop off routine is coming together as well. The circle drive out front can be a crazy place in the morning and we truly appreciate everyone's willingness to help keep traffic flowing and keeping everyone safe by making drop offs quick and for only making right hand turns out front. We want everyone to start their day as quick and safe as possible. It takes a village to keep it all moving smoothly, so THANK YOU!
This is going to be a magnificent year, we can already tell!
The SFSD Leadership Team is just as happy today as they were as Kindergarten students! Together, they've been in school a total of 150 years! Show us your "First Day" photos with #SFSDFirstDay. Have a GREAT year!
