Handbook

Students are expected to follow the guidelines in the Student Handbook at all times while at school and school-related events. It is our goal for each student to develop specific character traits we call The 15 Outcomes.

Dress Code

Thales Academy students adhere to a simple dress code: Khaki or navy pants, skirts, shorts, or jumpers paired with polo shirts of various colors.

We have found that students learn best when given the freedom to focus their attention on academics and those aspects of character that are truly important.

View all dress code details here.

About Canvas

If you don't have a Canvas account, you're missing out! Announcements on this page are only visible to parents when signed in to Canvas.

Canvas is used for daily class communication and assignments, so parents are encouraged to use Canvas to stay up-to-date on student activity. Grades for all submitted assignments are posted to Canvas every Monday by 4pm.

This campus-level page will remain accessible to all parents without a Canvas account, but to access campus announcements and email notifications, as well as course-level student-specific information, including assignments, class announcements, and student grades, parents will need to create an account in Canvas.

Using Pairing Codes to Create an Account

Parent accounts should be created at the login page from the link "Parent of a Canvas user? Click here for an account." This process requires a pairing code. If you do not have one from your campus administrators, you can see this document for how you can generate your own. Pairing codes are one-time-use only and expire after 7 days if unused.

Configuring the Mobile Apps

For quick access to this week's assignments, grades, and to set notification triggers for grades, we recommend the blue Canvas Parent mobile app.You can sign into this app using the same parent credentials you use on the web version of Canvas. Your account must be created from the web first before you can access the parent app. To access all content in a course on a mobile device, you will want to sign in to the red Student app as the student, using the student credentials provided in onRecord at the "Parent" login screen.

About onRecord and Smart Tuition

The onRecord Student Information System contains information about your student's Enrollment, Registration, Attendance, and Final Report Cards. An onRecord account is created during the application process. If you need an additional parent account created after a student is enrolled, please contact your campus administrator. All payments for tuition and incidental items like field trips and club fees can be paid from the Smart Tuition link on the onRecord resource board. If you would like to access Smart Tuition independently from onRecord, you will need to create an additional username and password from your Smart Tuition account under Edit My Profile>My Username & Password>Update.

Click here to log into onRecord.

Technology

Students in Grades 6-12 are assigned an Apple iPad to complete schoolwork. Student use of Technology falls under the Student Code of Conduct in the Student Handbook(PDF Download) and the Technology Handbook.

All students will set up iPads on the first day of school using the setup video found here. Students who join later in the year or have an iPad replaced can follow the same steps at any point. Other videos on this page are provided for student reference, as well as information for parents to share in management of student web activity and device usage.
