This only applies to teachers using PEAR ASSESSMENT

Second semester courses populate in Canvas on Monday, November 17th. Teachers will need to set up and publish these courses by January 6, so students can access them. Your Digital Learning Coach can help with:

• Editing course details

• Cross-listing courses

• Setting up Grade Sync

• Importing content from another Canvas course

• Syncing with new Pear Assessment classes: Once new Canvas courses are published, teachers will need to create new course shells in Pear Assessment and sync to their new Canvas courses.

The district Canvas team will be supporting teachers that need assistance. Here is the schedule for the drop-in dates the district team will be visiting schools. If there is no date by your school, and you have teachers who need assistance, please reach out to your DRC or STC to get that date scheduled.
