Session 1: June 3–28
Session 2: July 8–30

Launch engages students in grades 1-12 during both June and July. Launch partner districts may elect to participate in the June session, the July session or both sessions. (Those participating in both sessions need to expand their DESE summer school application.)

Students MUST log in and participate within the two first days of their summer course (June 3 and 4; July 8 and 9). Failure to log in or participate will result in notifications to a parent, guardian and counselor, and the student may be dropped from the course.

To get started, simply log in to Canvas using your student ID. Not sure what your password is? That’s okay! If you are an elementary student the password formula is first initial + last initial + student ID# (i.e. fl123456). If you are a middle or high school student the password formula is first initial + last initial + full date of birth (MMDDYYYY) + ! (i.e. fl03222005!).

If you did not sign up for an online course you can easily un-enroll by having a parent, guardian or counselor contact our office by the end of the first day of classes. Our office can be reached by phone at (417) 523-0417 or email at support@fueledbylaunch.com
