Brightspace for Parents/Guardians

A Window into Your Child's Classroom

The Brightspace Learning Platform is provided to all publicly funded school districts in Ontario by the Ministry of Education and includes a number of tools including an online classroom, a digital portfolio for students and Brightspace for Parents.

Note: Your child's teacher may not be using all the available tools associated with Brightspace for Parents. This can affect what is visible when viewing student information.
