Canvas LMS for Parents

A quick overview of the tools available for parents in the Canvas LMS for Parents app


Due to recent events, we will be implementing a new learning management system, Canvas, to ensure learning continues and all students have access to finish their coursework.

    • Canvas will provide your students with access to learning materials and activities and allow your child to complete coursework and stay on schedule.

    • You’ll also have access to view their courses through the Canvas Web Browser or through the Canvas Parent App. ( Due to Canvas technical issues, this is currently available)

A quick description of both ways to connect is outlined below.
