Overview
Canvas is an online platform that helps students and teachers keep all their digital resources in one place, whether they’re working in class or at home. It’s designed to be easy to use for K-12 students. Canvas has a calendar where important due dates and reminders can be posted, pages with class content and links to other resources, discussion boards for educational conversations, and places to turn in assignments. It also works well with Microsoft Office365, making it easy to use OneDrive and other apps. In short, Canvas is a central spot for teaching, learning, and communicating about student progress.
While Canvas is primarily a web-based program, there are free apps that can be used to access Canvas from a mobile device.
IMPORTANT NOTE: VUE remains the official grade book for WJCC Schools. While feedback and grades may be visible in Canvas, refer to StudentVUE and ParentVUE for official grades. Final grades in Canvas may not reflect your child’s final grade.
