Canvas is used for all South Park K-12 students enrolled in in-person learning.
Canvas is an easy-to-use, cloud-based platform that allows for all of the resources and tools our teachers use to be in one place. Its integration with the district’s new student information system, PowerSchool, automatically enrolls students in courses. There’s no need for registration codes like other learning management systems. After logging in, students will see summaries of their assignments, announcements and other important information right on their Canvas dashboard. Customized notifications alert students to announcements they need to know. Students will be introduced to Canvas at the beginning of the school year and learn how their teachers will use this tool to support learning.
Another key benefit to Canvas is the availability of a parent app on iOS or Android devices, where parents/guardians can see their children’s courses, basic assignment details and due dates to help support their children’s learning. Parents can also receive alerts for course announcements and reminders for specific assignments. A Canvas parent account does not allow parents/guardians to submit assignments, participate in the course or take assessments on their child’s behalf.
