Complete Orientation

It's vital that you and your student complete orientation to ensure the smoothest possible start of school for you and your student.

For students, orientation takes place in Canvas between mid-June and the start of classes. Please have them log into Canvas, look for the LAU Hub course, and follow the instructions posted there.

Parents can access our on-demand orientation videos right from our website.

Optional

Get Set Up with Remind

We use Remind Messaging to communicate important, sometimes urgent, information to parents throughout the school year. To ensure you don't miss out, we encourage you to download the app! You can learn more on our Remind Messaging page.
