[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've never understood what Canvas is. I get the messages, but nothing happens when I click on any links. I have to log into ParentVue to see grades. [/quote]

Me again. My son is now a senior. He's had an IEP for severe inattentive ADHD most of his school career and received lots of services in elementary. Back then, nothing was online, and I had no information on what they did with him. In middle school, he had a resource class and a case manager to help him. I didn't have a lot of visibility there either. In high school, he mostly did everything himself.

And somehow it worked out, OP.

Keep an eye on things but please understand that the start of the year is completely hectic, as the teacher PP described. You might want to coach your child to email his teachers regularly to check assignments and due dates with them. Self-advocacy is one of the most important skills these kids need to learn.
Also train him on how to use his planner. Check every day that stuff is written in there, and that he goes through his list of things to do, scaffolds his larger projects, decides what portion to do every day.

Essentially your kid can have the best teachers and counselors in the world, but YOU are his home coach. It's a lot of work, but it pays off - BTDT.

This is good advice. Keep working on training your kid to be independent. That will be the most valuable in the long run [/quote]
