Canvas Parent Account Information
The transition to Canvas will also give LISD parents improved opportunities to stay engaged and involved in what is happening in their child’s classroom. As we prepare for the beginning of the school year, please make sure you download both the Canvas Parent App and the Skyward app, so you can stay informed.
Please visit the Canvas for Families page on our website for instructions on how to create a Canvas Parent account and for more information about Canvas: https://www.lindaleeagles.org/canvas-for-families
Skyward will continue to be the official gradebook of LISD. Please continue to check Skyward for your child’s grades and for missing assignments.
Thank you for your partnership and support. We are looking forward to a great school year!
