TREASURER POSITION OPEN After years of serving Explorers faithfully, our treasurer Candy Knox, has decided to step away from her position to focus on her family. We are looking for someone with Quickbooks (or financial record keeping) experience to help fill this role. The scope of this position will be limited to finances and we intend to provide time to complete responsibilities during co-op hours as to limit time commitment beyond co-op hours. Please contact the board if you are interested in learning more about the role. |
You should have received an invitation from Canvas to join our online learning system. We use Canvas extensively at Explorers to record grades, post assignments, and share communication. We encourage all of our classes to utilize Canvas as much as possible - even our elementary and middle school classes. Every parent and student will receive a personal login ID.
Canvas can be intimidating - at first! I’m sharing a couple of videos below to help you understand how Canvas works from the instructor’s perspective.
As a parent, you will be able to see your student’s grades in any class if they’re recorded in Canvas. You can see posted assignments and follow the progress of your student in class.
You will use your email and the password - explorers1920. You can change this password once you’ve logged in the first time. (If you’ve already logged in, please use whatever password you were given originally.)
Your student(s) will login using the first 3 letters of their first name followed by their last name. For example, my login would be RutDammann.
