    • Canvas (use your school id and password to login) 

      • Canvas will be our primary online learning management system used for asynchronous learning (prerecorded video lessons and learning tasks), which you’ll access from the DV Start Page.  Canvas will be a consistent place to access lessons with instructional content, student resources, and most assignments. 
      • In addition to Canvas, students will use the DV Start Page to access PowerSchools for grades, HMH Ed for reading, Dreambox for math, Sam and School City for district math assessments. We will also use Clever from the DV Start Page to access Amplify, Centers and TypingClub ( on asynchronous specials days)  along with many other learning opportunities.
      • Weekly Newsletters will go out at the start of the week
      • DVUSD Instructional Technology Help and Aspire Canvas Help for Students
    • Zoom should be accessed through our Canvas “Home Page” using your DVUSD username and password.
      • Zoom will be used for our primary synchronous learning (live lessons and meetings) for whole group, small group, and individual learning.
    • Clever is a digital learning platform offering one friendly place for single sign-on with your district username and password and also allows teachers to add various direct websites and resources for students to access from one location. Clever is accessed from the DV Start Page.

    AI Statement from DVUSD:

    To be college-, career-, and community-ready, students in the Deer Valley Unified School District are expected to demonstrate academic integrity. Academic integrity is all about being honest and fair in your schoolwork. It means doing work that is entirely your own and giving credit to others (including generative Artificial Intelligence tools) through proper citation when you use their ideas or words.

    If you have questions about the guidelines for academic integrity, you should discuss them with your teacher.
