[quote=Anonymous]My son's 7th grade foreign language teacher has posted literally nothing on Canvas.  No notes, modules, schedules, or homework assignments.  Only a link to a translator app.  And his planner usually comes home blank.  He missed a homework assignment last week because of this (and was told he could not make it up).  He has no friends in the class.

My son has severe ADHD and a 504 plan; potentially relevant accommodations include: Provide assignment directions in writing as needed; Repetition of directions; Breakdown large assignments into manageable parts; Teacher check-ins for organization and supplies with planner checks.

He still needs a lot of support with planning and organization to stay on top of his school work; I'm happy to do as much of that as I can, but when there is literally nothing on canvas or in his planner, especially for a language class I do not speak, there is very little I can do to help him.

But, I recognize it's only the second week of school and I am reluctant to make a fuss yet.  Is there any requirement or even guideline as to what teachers need to put on Canvas?  My son has a difficult time speaking up/asking for help, so it's extremely unlikely he would approach the teacher himself.  Should I ask the teacher directly about Canvas or planner checks, or go to the counselor (new to us this year so no existing relationship, or I'd have asked them already)?

(And for anyone who thinks the answer is "he *just* needs to get better about writing stuff down or remembering it" - if he could do that, he wouldn't have a disability and a 504.)[/quote]
