Why do I need Canvas Parent if we have Powerschool?

Powerschool is still the official grade system of Pattonville but with the Canvas Parent app you can get more up to date information on upcoming assignments, more control over when you are notified if your child is struggling, better teacher feedback, and an easy way to message teachers.
