Canvas

Now that every student has their own Chromebook, we need a way to organize our work online. In order to do that, all students and teachers use Canvas as our common Learning Management System (LMS).

This year and last year, all of our Core Courses in the 7th & 8th Grade have been using Canvas to organize coursework and assignments. Most of our Elective Courses have as well. Students and Parents can access class content and monitor student progess by going onto Canvas. Some of our Core Courses in the 6th Grade have been using some features of Canvas, such as the calendar and announcements.

Next school year, families will have the option of choosing Canvas for Core Courses in 7th & 8th Grade.

Canvas on your computer

You can access Canvas online by going to rsd.instructure.com. Log in with your child.

On the right column, you can see items that need to be completed by your child. You can click on a class to see the modules, assignments, outcomes, and grades.

Note: If you are having difficulty accessing the Canvas site on your home computer, try to first log into Google Drive (drive.google.com) with your child's school email address and password, then go to the Canvas site (rsd.instructure.com).

We recommend using the Student app since it provides a lot more access to information than the Parent app. However, you can also get the Parent app. To set up the Parent App, your child first needs to create a Pairing Code and then give you the Pairing Code to enter into the Parent App.
