Rockwood Offers Canvas Course to Help Prepare Students for Move to Middle School
Middle school can be a challenging time for many students. However, while our middle-schoolers are going through so many changes, they shouldn’t also have to struggle with learning or navigating the challenges of everyday middle school life.
That's why the Rockwood School District has developed an asynchronous Canvas course called "Middle School Ready" to help students become more comfortable with Canvas (the online tool that middle and high school students use to access lesson materials and submit work) and learn strategies to build confidence and prepare them for middle school in Rockwood.
Students can work through the course independently, at their own pace. This course is available year-round, and students can enroll at any time. A special reward will be sent to students who finish the course!
To enroll in the course, students should visit bit.ly/ms-ready, log in with their Rockwood Google credentials (first initial + last name + last 3 digits of student number@rsdmo.org and password), and follow the prompts. Since only students can enroll, please help your child join the course, and then explore it together.
