Canvas

Canvas is the Learning Management System (LMS) utilized by the Diocese of Fort Wayne South Bend. This LMS allows teachers to create digital curriculum for students to access while at school or off-site. Students will use Canvas for e-Learning days, to download files, take quizzes, access vital links, view videos, and more.

Parents/Guardians Account Setup
In Canvas, the observer (parent) role can be used to enroll parents who would like to monitor their child in a Canvas course. Observers have limited permissions that allow them to see what is going on in a course without interrupting the flow of daily course communication. Like students, observers cannot view a course until it is published and the course has started.Observers are bound to the same prerequisites, requirements, lock dates, etc. as the student they are observing.
