May 16 - Time for Community Service & Sunshine!!


Today's walk out was a great show of support and collaboration from our students. The leaders were thoughtful, deliberate and effective. The support in town for the walkers was awesome.  Our students felt inspired and excited. Thank you for supporting and helping to amplify their voices. Thank you to all who helped to monitor the walk out and stick around to make sure things stayed safe. This has been a tough topic and I appreciate everyone's effort to stay positive, be supportive, and help out where possible. We will get there! 



We need to harness this energy and continue to guide it toward more & more positive actions!!

Quote(s) of the Week: 

'This week I have reflected quite a bit on the educational journey for our children. PA is a really special place. Our children have received  thoughtful, responsive and intentional instruction. They have had educators who support them in the classroom and on the field. The educators of PA demonstrate not only dedication and passion but a special gift of being able to connect with teens.' - anonymous parent

Canva for Education Accounts for All LSSU faculty staff and students

Hi all,  I'm happy to share that we've recently launched Canva for Education across your school! All staff, teachers, and students now have access to the all-in-one visual communication platform, 100% free.

Whatever you want to create – presentations, posters, videos, digital whiteboarding, newsletters, a teacher portal, or marketing collateral,  – you can do it all in Canva.

What's next?

You and your students can log in to your new school-based Canva team with your school google credentials at www.clever.com. (The Canva link is under "More Apps".) There, you can use the full power of Canva for Education as well as effortlessly working together with colleagues through real-time collaboration, easy sharing, feedback and comments, and more!

If you are already a Canva user, the next time you log out and log back into Canva, you’ll be joined to the new school team. Your pre-existing content will be accessible by switching between teams; you can copy designs to your new school team by following these steps. Click here to log out of Canva to get started.

Please read the Canva teacher's guide, even if you've used Canva before - there are a few differences between our new organization-wide version of Canva and versions you may have used in the past.

To learn more about using Canva to support your work, check out Canva’s general learning site (Canva Design School) or their Teacher Resources page for resources specific to K-12 students and teachers.

If you have any questions about Canva or want to learn more about using Canva in your classroom, contact our technology team!    - LSSU Tech Team
