Canvas Parent Accounts
Why should I have a Canvas Parent Account?
Canvas is the district’s learning management system. Canvas acts as a hub for each teacher in the district. Here they house their instructional tools and resources. These include, but are not limited to the following:
due dates, assignments, instructions, rubrics, projects, quizzes, videos, images, articles, presentations, class discussions, events, calendar, links and articles
With a parent account you will be able to view all materials that are published by your student’s teacher as well as your student’s occasional online contributions and submissions in class.
Important!
Accounts for grades K-6:
