Dear West Allegheny Families,
On Wednesday, we introduced you to the District's new Learning Management System, Canvas. This platform will enhance the learning experience for families who chose to return their children to the classroom this fall and will also provide a robust learning environment for our families who chose remote education for their children. The system engages students both in and out of the classroom, while allowing parents to take part in their children's education by providing access to important class information.
To get you started, our very own Dr. Cheryl McHone created the four-minute tutorial video below that provides helpful tips, guidelines and an overview of Canvas features. In addition to the desktop application, Canvas also offers an App with both Android and iOS support, which we recommend downloading free from the App Store. Both platforms allow families convenient and timely access to student attendance, schedules, assignments, grades, calendars, teachers and much more once school begins.
Later today, parents/guardians should receive an individual email for each of your children that provides a unique pairing code generated by the District that is necessary for you to access that child's Canvas account.
To learn more about accessing Canvas,
