It’s a remote learning day tomorrow 12/15! Teachers! Your instructional coaches will be available for any needed support. You can also tweet us or reach out to the DTL team if you need anything to make your remote learning day the best! #wearecanyons #teamcsd
Expected extreme weather and dangerous road conditions are prompting CSD to pivot to remote learning on Dec. 15. While schools and District Offices will be closed, students will continue learning through technology or other learning opportunities. See canyonsdistrict.org.

I try to hide my reaction when I hear people say they can't wait to get "back to the old normal". Let's take what we have learned and build a new and better future for #education.

We are going to fight for educators and students. That means hiring more counselors and school nurses. That means paying educators what they're worth. That means protecting the right to organize.

Parent conference participation increased a ton in the virtual space. In some cases, 300%+. Maybe our definition of “parental involvement” should have less to do with assuming parents don’t care and more to do with making engagement more convenient for families. They do care.

Reminder that kids are not "falling behind" academically during these crazy times. Standards, benchmarks, and accountability measures are all arbitrarily created by schools and can just as easily be readjusted as needed.
