What is Canvas?

Canvas is the learning management system (LMS) WISH uses at WISH Middle and WISH Academy. This is where teachers post assignments and resources for their lessons and where students submit work. Canvas is also where our teachers maintain the gradebooks for their classes. MS and HS students and teachers use Canvas on a daily basis at WISH.

Canvas has an account type called an "Observer" account, which parents/guardians can use to monitor student grades, progress, and activity, and can be accessed via the Canvas Parent app.

Uses of Canvas Parent for parents/guardians at MS & HS

  • View assignments
  • See grades in real time
  • Read teacher feedback
  • Communication with teachers about specific assignments
Visit the Canvas' website for more information and their Observer/Parent Getting Started resources.
