Canvas
FISD and Hunt are using a new online learning management system. This system pulls information from all classes into one location for students and parents. Every class is utilizing Canvas. Please be patient as this system is new to our staff, and we are learning the most effective ways to utilize it. If you have questions, the teacher is the best resource to answer. You should be able to log in and see all assignments and a syllabus for each class. HAC is still the official grade system for students even though you may be able to see some grades in Canvas.
Here are directions to set up parent access to Canvas.
