Hello, 8th Grade Parents,

As we prepare for high school, each of your 8th graders chose an endorsement earlier this year.  Students are required to complete a certain number of electives in the area that they chose.  

The endorsement choices are:

1. STEM

2. Public Services

3. Business and Industry

4. Arts and Humanities

5. Multidisciplinary Studies

All 8th grade parents must electronically sign to acknowledge their child's endorsement choice in Skyward by May 2.  The directions to view and sign electronically are attached.

Below are some things we need you to do to prepare for the first day of virtual school on Monday, August 17. Click the links in each step for directions.

1. If you haven't already, get your schedule from Skyward Student/Family Access and save a copy of our Bell Schedule so you will know what time each period begins.

2. Know how to Join your WiFi.

3. Log into Content Keeper (see username and password info below).

4. Install the Zoom app from Self Service (use the black and white Self Service icon) and learn your way around the Zoom app.

5. Access Canvas and add a shortcut for quick access later. (see username and password info below)

6. Organize your Canvas Dashboard by removing any old classes and then use your schedule to add a nickname to each Canvas course that includes which period you have that class. Then, reorder your Dashboard courses to appear in the corrrect order (i.e. 1st period is listed first, 2nd is second, etc.). 

7. Get logged into your GPISD Google account. 

8. Be sure your iPad is fully charged for Monday morning when you will go into Canvas, click your 1st period course, and then click the Zoom link your teacher has posted.
