Tents will be set up in front of Mrs. Schmit’s classroom. Families are requested to pick up supplies during the pick-up time on Wednesday if at all possible. If you are not able to do so, please contact your student’s teacher in Canvas to make other arrangements.

Google Forms/Docs blank or not opening: Make sure you are using Chrome for ALL school stuff. If you are using a personal device for school work, you need to download Chrome and use it when doing school work. The software and permissions will only work when you are logged into Chrome using your school account info.

So this week has been crazier for me than last week- I honestly didn't think that was possible, but here we are. I hope it's been getting at least a little easier for everyone else. I'm way behind on emails and grading. I'm planning on getting grading caught up as much as I can today because that will probably help with a lot of the questions everyone has.
What do I do if Canvas, Powerschool, or NCedCloud don't work

1. Stay calm, don't panic, take a deep breath, it's not the end of the world. I promise. I'm totally being flexible with everything this year. Nothing will be set in stone. Just keep doing your best and everything will be fine.
2. Try logging into programs directly (google Login + "program name"
3. Email Ms. Schmit (Call/text- if you don't have internet)
4. Check class website- most of what we do in class can be found here as well. It's why I use it as a backup to all the school stuff ;-)
5. Just do your best to keep up with what we're doing in class. 
6. When in doubt just make some art!

If you're wondering what to do this week here are some checklists that should help:

• Monday (B-Day) /Tuesday (A-Day)
  • Review Who I Am Unit (in zoom class meeting)
  • Start Who I Am Project
• Wednesday (B-Day)/Thursday (A-Day)
  • Work day on Who I Am Project
• Friday (B-Day)
  • Work Day on Who I Am Project
• If you complete your Project before the end of the week here are your options
  1. Create a Spark Video about your "Who I Am Project"
     1. Adobe Spark is free for all students and teachers, just google it to find out what it is and what it can do! It's how I've made all my videos you've seen this week. Its really easy and fun to use ;-)
  2. Work on your own artwork
  3. Make a second "Who I Am Project". Now you know what it really can do, and know what you would change/add if you got another chance to make it. So make it ;-)

THE WHO I AM PROJECT WILL BE DUE NEXT WEEK- I will be updating the date for it today, don't turn it in yet even if you're finished with it. Just turn in images in with your Progress Check this week instead. 

Attendance form is here. and check for updates on what to work on.
- Re-watch the video for the Who I Am project. Lots of people think they are done with the project when you are actually just done with the moquet. The project is not due till the end of the week.
Here's a link to the information and video if you can't get to them on canvas

I know a lot of people are still getting overwhelmed with how canvas works and are having issues with stuff being locked. If that's sounds like you, then watch the video below, it will probably help. ( I'll get it uploaded asap)
