    Harmony Choice is a new program available for our Utah and Idaho families, designed to offer more flexibility in selecting supplemental programs for your children at no cost to you. This initiative reflects Harmony’s ongoing commitment to personalized, student-centered learning. Please log into the FRC to explore your Harmony Choice options. You can also reach out to your mentor or our curriculum specialist, Lynelle McElhannon at lmcelhannon@harmonyed.com if you have additional questions.

    Canvas Tips
    Here are some useful tips in Canvas for Flex, Portfolio, and Homeroom courses. 

    Once in your child’s Canvas account, select Calendar on the left side. The calendar view shows the previous and upcoming submissions for that student’s courses in Canvas.

    • You can click on the item and a box will pop up with details. You can then click on each item to go right to the submission in the course.

    Also, be sure to check back in Canvas to see comments from the graders and teachers. In the student’s Canvas account, there will be alerts on the right for any comments from teachers. Or you select the course, then select Grades > Score. If there is a comment icon, you can click on that to see the comment.

    • Based on the comment, you might want to resubmit the assignment.

    MobyMax Placement Tests and Quiz Resets

    If your child has a MobyMax course, be sure to check out the helpful information in the MobyMax section of the Curriculum Orientation. If you would like your child to take a placement assessment for Language Arts or Math, please contact your mentor, and we’ll get that set up for you. 

    Also, if you would like your child to retake a MobyMax quiz or redo a lesson, please contact your mentor with the module name and quiz or lesson title, so that we can reset it. Lessons and quizzes that have been reset will generally appear in the Assignments tab on the MobyMax student dashboard.
