Canvas

Canvas is an online classroom that helps students, teachers, and families stay connected. Teachers use it to share assignments, grades, class updates, and learning materials, all in one easy-to-find place. Students can see what they need to work on, submit homework, and check their progress.

Parents can use the Canvas Parent app to follow their student’s classes, see upcoming or missing work, and get important alerts. Schools use Canvas because it keeps communication clear and makes learning more organized and accessible, whether students are at school or at home.
