Canvas is the DVUSD learning management system.
This platform provides a central place for teachers to collect and deliver content. It also connects students to digital resources and materials and allows students the opportunity to virtually collaborate.
Here are just a few features of Canvas:
- Communication tools for discussions, updates, and student support
- Several options for content and assignments
- Integrates external resources and apps
- Functionality on a variety of devices
Please note that Canvas courses may display a running course grade for students based on the work collected and scored within Canvas; however, DVUSD’s official record of grades is in PowerSchool.
