Welcome to Canvas! We are glad you are here. This course has been created for parents and guardians and includes information about Canvas Learning Management System and general instructions for using Canvas as a parent/observer. We will also store other important documents here as well. Be sure to check back.
What is a Learning Management System? A Learning Management System (LMS) is a way to simplify teaching and learning by connecting all digital tools teachers, students and parents use into one place.
Why are teachers using Canvas?
Teachers can use Canvas to:
- Personalize learning for students
- Receive and grade student assignments, discussions, and quizzes.
- Easily align assignments and rubrics to standards and/or learning objectives.
- Provide students with written, audio, or video feedback and multiple revision/submission opportunities.
- Organize all work and course-related events into one, drag-and-drop calendar.
- Push course notifications to students via email and text.
Why might a student benefit from working in Canvas?
Students can use Canvas to:
- Access class materials (calendar, assignments, quizzes, etc.) online using any device or any browser.
- See due dates.
- Track their progress through ongoing teacher feedback tools.
- See grades and teacher feedback (this is not a replacement for ParentVue or the PWCS gradebook)
- Receive course announcements, grade notifications, etc. instantaneously on their preferred device(s).
- Easily collaborate with peers and teachers.
