Student Course Resources

Please note: All daily work, homework, makeup work, and extra credit instructions are located under "HOMEWORK" on the left.

This year, students will be working in the CANVAS digital platform IN ADDITION TO workbooks and various online resources for our class content. The online options are both for in-class students and students who are unable to attend class in person. Students may also do their homework and makeup work via Canvas and/or the "homework" button on my website. There is a clickable interactive calendar under, "homework." Please note, you may need to hold down the "ctrl" button on your keyboard when clicking links. 

Calendar and classroom communications take place within Canvas, BB COMMS, and email, where detailed assignment information is shared with students and parents.

While parents do not have DIRECT access to Canvas, students have accounts which can be accessed from home via LAUNCHPAD, a single-sign-on provider.

When accessing Launchpad off the CPSB network (at home), students will prompted to sign in with their CPSB username and password before their dashboard opens. If you have any issues with passwords, before changing your student's password, please contact Ms. Semmes or OPMS for help.

Course Communications

Please note: Ms. Semmes uses BB COMMS every week to update parents. Please be sure your information is up to date.
Parents and legal guardians can receive CPSB BB Comms communications via email and text messages if the student contact information is up-to-date and accurate. Please ensure that a parent/guardian number is listed in the "Student Cell Phone" field in the Student Progress Center. The field appears on the “phone” page as you confirm your student’s information each year. If you’ve already updated the information, you can recheck this field by selecting “Student Registration Update.” You can visit SPC HERE to make any needed changes to your student's information to receive email and text messages.
