Canvas Templates
What am I downloading?
Your school district has created a Canvas Template that provides the foundations for creating an online Canvas Course.
These templates feture pre-loaded information for students and parents on how to use canvas as well as other documents that are required by the district.
Please download your class level template (Elementary, Middle, or High) and import it for each of your Canvas courses.
Templates have been designed to allow teachers to fill out information for their class(es) and personalize the class. There are examples within the templates for teachers to customize as you get started.
