9/1 Student/Parent Introduction to Canvas presentation

PLearning has been replaced by the Canvas learning management system. Parents will have two ways to connect with their student's learning progress in Canvas. The first is through the Canvas App for Parents (available for IOS and Android phones). Here is a short video introducing about the Parent App and how to set this up for your student (note: Your student will need to be able to access their Canvas courses to get the pairing code). The App provides an excellent global view of progress, but if you want to be able to see a more granular level of detail, you want to consider option 2 below.

1) Canvas Parent App:
