Canvas for Parents
Parents/Guardians,
Please watch the videos below first for a quick overview of what Canvas is. There are some important features to get you started within each video. The videos are short, ranging from 2-5 minutes each. Mrs. Crowe has also provided a detailed PowerPoint slideshow to walk you through the process of both Student and Parent logins. After downloading and installing the app on your phone (available on all platforms) and creating a user login, if you have addition questions feel free to browse through the FAQs provided. We are always looking for ways to improve communication with parents, hopefully this helps.
