First, what is Canvas?
Canvas is Dekalb County School District's new Learning Management System. It supports students by creating a central location for teaching and learning. Canvas allows teachers to post grades, assignments, and information that is accessible from any device with internet access. It allows students to keep track of their grades, contact their teacher when needed, interact and collaborate with classmates as well as submit assignments. This is all done within one platform, Canvas.
What is Canvas Parent?
