K-5 Shakopee Online Canvas Setup
Directions for Students and Parents
What is Canvas?
Canvas is Shakopee's Learning Management System. Students use it to access instructions and materials for class, to turn in assignments or quizzes electronically, and to receive feedback and grades from their teacher. Grades in Canvas are the official grade for students and will only be posted in Infinite Campus at the end of each quarter.
Parents can sign up to become "Observers" of their students in Canvas in order to view course materials, directions for the day, assignments, and feedback.
Step 1: Students Sign-in to Canvas
Step 2: Find the Pairing Code on the Student iPad
Step 3: Parent Account Creation & Login
